Turning Point Clouds
into accurate 3D Models
Project
Overview
DCMS conducted a high-accuracy 3D laser scan of the MacMillan Theatre, a historic performing arts venue located within the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music.
The goal of this project was to capture the existing conditions of the theatre, ensuring that future renovation efforts align with its original architectural integrity while modernizing key structural and technical elements.
Our team delivered comprehensive as-built documentation, including floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D Revit models, which provided critical support to the architects leading the renovation.
Deliverables
-
3D Laser Scanning (LiDAR) – Capturing the theatre’s complex interior structure and stage layout.
-
Virtual Matterport Walkthroughs – Providing immersive 360° visualizations for architects and planners.
-
Point Cloud Processing & BIM Modeling – Converting high-density point cloud data into structured as-built documentation.
-
LOD 300 Revit Model & 2D CAD Drawings – Delivering detailed floor plans, seating layouts, and stage elements.
-
Acoustic & Lighting Documentation – Supporting optimal performance space modernization.
Our Role & Technology
Using terrestrial LiDAR scanning, our team captured the full spatial geometry of the theatre, from seating arrangements to backstage zones. All point cloud data was processed and converted into a detailed digital twin used for planning and restoration.
-
Tools Used: Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Matterport Pro3
Key Challenges
& Solutions
-
Complex interior geometry: Our LiDAR scanning captured detailed stage, seating, and acoustic features.
-
Preservation of historic character: All documentation aligned with original architectural elements.
-
Remote design collaboration: Matterport walkthroughs enabled remote access for the renovation team.
