Turning Point Clouds
into accurate 3D Models

Project
Overview

At DCMS, we conducted a comprehensive 3D laser scan and existing conditions survey of this 5,922-square-foot custom home in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The goal was to provide detailed as-built documentation that would assist the client’s renovation team in designing updates while maintaining the home’s original architectural integrity.
By utilizing LiDAR scanning technology and high-resolution point cloud processing, our team captured precise measurements, ensuring that architects and designers had an accurate foundation for planning modifications.

Deliverables

  • High-Density LiDAR Point Cloud Data

  • Ensuring millimeter-accurate spatial documentation.
Georeferenced Orthophotos

  • Providing precise references for façade and interior modifications.
Floor & Ceiling Plans

  • Essential for planning interior layouts and structural updates.
2D CAD Drawings

  • Architectural blueprints for renovation execution.
LOD 300 Revit Model

  • Delivering a fully digital representation of existing conditions.

Our Role & Technology

Our team performed a terrestrial LiDAR survey, generating a high-resolution point cloud dataset that served as the foundation for accurate as-built documentation, including a LOD 300 Revit Model and AutoCAD floor plans.

  • 3D Laser Scanning

  • Capturing structural details with millimeter precision.
 Point Cloud Processing

  • Converting raw scan data into a usable format for CAD and BIM applications.
 Virtual Matterport Walkthrough

  • Allowing the client and architects to explore the property remotely.
 Detailed 2D CAD Drawings & BIM Modeling

  • Supporting renovation plans with accurate floor plans and elevations.

Key Challenges
& Solutions

  • Architectural preservation: Captured the home’s original design with high-resolution point cloud data.

  • Remote collaboration needs: Delivered a virtual Matterport walkthrough to assist stakeholders working off-site.

  • Complex layout conditions: Provided detailed floor and ceiling plans through BIM and CAD modeling.

OUR WORKFLOW:Scan, Process,
3D Modeling and Deliver
