Maximize Accuracy with Scan to BIM Modeling for Your Next Construction Project

Getting accurate measurements and streamlining workflows is key to any construction or renovation project. That is where Scan to BIM Modeling comes in. This approach combines advanced 3D scanning with Building Information Modeling (BIM) to create detailed, data-rich models. Let’s look at how Scan to BIM services can help make your next project more efficient and precise.

What Is Scan to BIM?

Scan to BIM is a process where 3D laser scanners capture the exact details of a building or site. These scans produce a point cloud, which is then turned into a digital BIM model. The model includes accurate dimensions, relationships between elements, and loads of useful data. This makes it ideal for designing, renovating, or restoring projects.

For example, whether you are working on a residential project or a commercial project, this technology provides an accurate visual and data-based representation of the site. It is perfect for architects creating new designs or contractors managing renovations.

Why Use Scan to BIM Services?

1. Precise Measurements

Measuring by hand can be tricky and prone to mistakes. With 3D scan to BIM, you get precise measurements; down to the millimeter. This reduces errors and minimizes the risk of redoing work during construction.

2. Simplifies Collaboration

A complete digital twin of the project allows architects, engineers, and contractors to work off the same page. It makes coordination easier and speeds up decision-making.

3. Great for Renovations and Restorations

For renovation projects, having an accurate model of the existing structure is a huge help. It shows you exactly what’s already there and flags potential issues before you start. For restoration projects, it helps keep the building’s original design intact while incorporating updates.

4. Better Designs

A detailed BIM model highlights clashes and inconsistencies early on. For instance, if you’re adding an extension to a home, the model shows conflicts between old and new structures so you can fix them before building begins.

5. Saves Time and Money

Scan to BIM services can also save you time and money through minimizing errors and better planning. The contractor is able to make the right plan for material consumption while saving it from wastage.

6. Works for All Kinds of Projects

Whether it is a residential home, a commercial building, or even an industrial facility, Scan to BIM modeling can handle it. Its flexibility makes it a smart choice for a wide range of projects.

How Does Scan to BIM Work?

Here’s how it usually works:

Site Scanning: 3D laser scanners collect detailed data from the site, creating a high resolution point cloud.

Point Cloud Processing: The data is cleaned up to remove errors and inconsistencies.

BIM Model Creation: The cleaned data is turned into a digital BIM model, including details like structural components, MEP systems, and architecture.

Model Review: The finished BIM model is checked for accuracy and is ready to use for design, construction, or planning.

Day 20: The History and Construction of the Waverley Paddle Steamer

The Waverley Paddle Steamer is one of the most iconic ships ever to sail the waters of Britain. Built in 1947, it is a celebrated symbol of maritime engineering and a cherished link to the era of steam-powered vessels. As the last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world, its legacy is deeply intertwined with the history of shipbuilding in Scotland and the broader narrative of…

Cadillac Eldorado Guitar Car, 1970, by Jay Ohrberg (pictured with the car). Built for Elvis Presley, the 8.2 litre V8-powered (front wheel drive) Eldorado was cut in half and extended with a “fretboard” centre section. Ohrberg's team (who also built the Pink Panther's car among others) extensively customised the rear end to make it more guitar-like and added jet-style tail fins. Presley drove the 41-foot long car to shows in Las Vegas but then it disappeared into obscurity. Inexplicably it has recently been listed for sale (in need of restoration) on eBay in Orléans, France.

THIS IS WHY I'VE NEVER TRUSTED THE RESTORATION PROJECT.

They SILENCED WALLY. This is why I said a long time ago only ONE member of that team "YOU" is trustworthy. That's why Wally goes for them. Everyone else is suspicious. Why are they the ONLY ones finding stuff, and why are they so obsessed with bringing it back? Why do they act like they're part of the show when they talk about it on the website? I'm telling y'all these people are affiliated with playfellow workshop. And playfellow workshop itself is already a red flag.

The restoration project are the ones who EDIT the website. They purposely edited Wally out. So that's why Wally was angry in the hidden audio.

If you haven't heard it, go to welcomehomerestorationproject.net/ringring

It's scary, but he has a right to be mad. Also, since they edited him so he could no longer see us or hear us properly, that means they're onto "YOU" So they're making our job harder. That's why Wally said he's going to start communicating with us differently.

THEY ARE PISSING US AND WALLY OFF. I SEE WHY WALLY IS SO ANGRY.

Y2K JULIE!!

she's so cute !!! I love the outfit clown chose for her in the ask 🩷!! Though I realize now that I'm not too knowledgeable on y2k fashion as I thought I was..

+bonus clippings. I really want to make a outfit range for her, similar to the one I did for Oliver, but finals take up the entire week <(′～`；)>

💖 Day 3.5 is now available! 💖

For the last couple of months, only Server Boosters had access to the 3.5 update... Buuuuut now it's available for everyone to play in the 14DWY Discord — and soon itch.io once I'm happy with the QA and state of the game — so please don't feel pressured to join unless you want to!!

The full devlog + even more screenshots are under the cut ^^

What's been added to the 3.5 version?

📺 Streamer Mode!

I've been told that it's difficult to stream and monetise age-restricted videos on YouTube and Twitch, so I added an option to remove the sexual content and strong language used in the demo.

Now y'all can invite Ren into your bed for cuddles without putting your streamer career on the line /silly /lh

This won't affect the 18+ rating or dark themes/elements of the game, however! Although Streamer Mode will prevent you from seeing any "gruesome" CGs in the future, most of the core elements of the game will still be tied to the choices and decisions you make. So you won't miss out on the overall experience by using streamer mode!!

⚙️ Custom Pronouns!

It only took me one entire year to get around to it, but you can finally choose your own preferred pronouns (or use a set of pronouns instead)... At the cost of being able to change them mid-game ^^;

Since the original pronoun screen wouldn't update until a new scene was displayed, I temporarily disabled the feature. But once I find a workaround, I'll bring it back!

💗 Choose how others perceive you!

You can now choose how the cast and narration perceive you! Originally, the narration was kept strictly gender-neutral (outside of pronouns and genitalia picked by the player), but this will soon change in future updates.

For more clarity: you don't get to choose the words specifically, but you can choose between masculine, feminine, and androgynous terms!

📋 Separate top and bottom genitalia!

You can now choose your tatas and pps separately! >:3

Alongside that, you can also choose your preferred body type!

I removed the "both" genitalia option because a few players still assumed it was an obscure version of "intersex". That wasn't my intention and I don't want to mislead anyone, so I took it out for now ^^;

I also didn't want to include a screenshot of the new genitalia choices in action (because it's NSFW), so y'all get the same character menu screen for the nth time instead lmao

📱 Relationship Screen Overhaul!

You can now change your own status for more immersion, and long-term Server Boosters will eventually be able to submit and use their own icon within the game as well!

Stalking finding your friends has now become easier by using "Buddy Maps"; a new app that allows you to see the location of all the cast members!

I want to offer players more incentive to check the relationship screen since they tend to miss the status updates, so hopefully this might help ;v;

It also says it "updates every few hours" so folks don't go overboard and check every 5 seconds to see where Ren is gdsghf (also keep in mind that he's a hacker lol)

🖤 Additional Scenes Update!

Day 2 received a brand new CG!!!!! Originally, I planned on only adding a few CGs sporadically throughout the game, but it didn't feel right to leave Day 2 so... empty... so I added a brand new CG to (hopefully) make things feel more balanced and natural!

If you decline Teo's offer on Day 3, Leon will now call and try to convince you to reconsider. However, players are still allowed to decline, and if they do, they'll reach a dead end.

After listening to feedback on itch, I changed some of the dialogue during Days 1-3 to make it seem more consistent! They're only small changes though, so it's honestly not worth looking for sdgjssga

🎶 Updated BGM and SFX!

I wanted to try out a different style of music to see if it fits the vibe of 14DWY more! The BGM features more acoustics to suit the "beachy" theme of Corland Bay, though I made a conscious effort to include piano elements as well to stay true to the original!!

I figured it'd be better to give players a live example before I make a poll (to see if they prefer the change or not) and publish it to Itch.

Some new SFX have also been added, though it's very minimal and honestly not that noticeable.

How to download and play the update?

(warning: clicking on the following links will open Discord!!) To download the Day 3.5 update, simply join the 14DWY Discord server, verify your age, and visit the "14dwy-updates" channel!

Alternatively, you can also wait until the update is publicly released on Itch to play it as well!! (It normally gets released shortly after a round of QA testing/getting feedback from the server, though I may release it earlier if I feel like it hehe ^^)

Enjoy!!
