Overview

Gain an overview and knowledge regarding creating models from pointcloud using a solution provided by Trimble Sketchup.

In recent years, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is getting more attention, and thus, creating models for BIM applications is getting more popular as well. On top of that, a very quick and effective way of capturing reality is via laser scanning, so creating as-built models from laser scan data (pointcloud) is the most efficient method.

Key Takeaways

At the end of this programme, you will be able to:
  • Use various native tools in Sketchup to create accurate 3D models for BIM applications as well as other downstream usage
  • Import and manipulate scan data in the Sketchup environment for the purpose of creating a digital twin

Who Should Attend

  • Please refer to the job roles section. 
  • BIM managers and modelling personnel. 
  • 2D CAD drafting technicians progressing into 3D modeling.
  • Public Service Officers looking to create a digital twin of the built structure.

Testimonials

It was particularly useful learning the concepts of modelling, creating models from pointcloud, and using the sketchup programme.

,

It was useful learning about what capabilities are available in Sketchup for modelling point clouds.

,

Learning about the pointclouds and how it is exported and imported to softwares were useful for me.
