CAD – BIM

Here at WGP Digital we have a wealth of experience in 2D & 3D CAD software, mainly Autodesk products but with a watchful eye on other brands.

Warren is an advanced user of Autocad and the BIM package Revit, but with a good working knowledge of Civil 3D, 3DS Max and SketchUp.

Scan2BIM

Scan to BIM is a service that we excel in, with our expertise in laser scanning, we are able to convert raw point cloud data to a parametric model. A recent example of this was to laser scan a plant room at the Natural History Museum, import the data into Revit 2019 and produce a Building Information Model showing the structure, plant, ducting and major pipes.

Below are screenshots of the plantroom using Revit and also a mockup of a Temple with textures.

2D

Autocad is great for producing 2D drawings – plans, elevations, sections, whether produced from laser scanning or traditional survey techniques we can help with this. Recent projects include 2D sections at the Natural History Museum (case study here) and a fully detailed measured building survey of a large property in North London, both projects were laser scanned with 3d point cloud data as the base for the drawings.

Other software includes;

  • 3DS Max – one of the top 3d mesh/render programmes, used to great effect in the Minerva Temple project, case study here…
  • SketchUp – great software for producing 3D models quickly.
  • Civil 3D – it’s been a while since using this, but have previously used this software package for ground modelling projects.
  • MeshLabs – have used this programme a lot for 3D meshing solutions, it’s brilliant software for editing meshed models, reducing file size, closing holes etc.
  • Autocad solid modelling – 3D solid models ready for import into other software
