Scan data in Tekla
Structures
In addition to improving accuracy, integrating
scanning with BIM can also enhance
collaboration between stakeholders, as the
scanning data can be shared and accessed
by all members of the team. This can help to
streamline communication and ensure that
everyone is working with the same information.
Overall, integrating scanning with BIM can
provide steel fabricators with significant
advantages, including improved accuracy,
reduced errors, and enhanced collaboration.
By leveraging these technologies, fabricators
can increase their efficiency, reduce costs, and
ultimately provide better results for their clients.
Many also want to import the point clouds into
Tekla Structures to work with a BIM model along
with the scan data. One can import the scan data
directly into Tekla Structures, but in some cases
the process will be smoother if the point cloud is
cleaned up in RealWorks before it is imported.
Once the scanning data is collected, it can be
imported into BIM software to create an accurate
digital representation of the real-world structure.
This data can be used to identify clashes and
potential fabrication issues before production
begins, allowing for any necessary adjustments
to be made to the model.
