Scan-to-BIM for universities in Massachusetts

The client engaged ORIGIN to model the elementary and middle school building in detail at LOD 350. The scope of work required a high level of geometric accuracy and technical precision to reflect the building’s numerous architectural details and decorative elements, particularly railings with forged ornamental details.

Before starting the modeling process, the ORIGIN team prepared the point cloud by cleaning it, removing noise, and separating it into several logical parts. This preparation step ensured accurate alignment and enabled efficient, error-free work throughout the subsequent modeling stages.

This coeducational boarding and day school provides education for elementary and middle school students with language-based learning differences. The school offers a supportive environment that helps students build on their strengths and develop effective learning strategies.

This building is about 40 000 square feet and has a wide variety of classrooms and working spaces.

The main request was to show the facades in LOD 350 and the interior in LOD 300.

Our team modeled all exterior decorations in detail. Also, there was a special request to show all railings with forged ornaments per the Point Cloud in high tolerance and without deviations. This way, railings were modeled as a group and consisted of different family types: railings, model-in-place elements, arrays of generic models, etc.

The client was impressed with the result and the details of the elements.

The building consists of a dozen different stairs: metal with metal supports, wooden with wooden beams and columns, fire escape ladders, etc.

We had to show all of their details in LOD 350 and apply materials matching the real condition.
