Case Study: Hospital Exterior in Chicago, IL

3D LiDAR Scanning and Revit Modeling

Project Overview  

An Illinois-based architecture firm trusted Onpoint to provide precise 3D LiDAR scanning and Revit modeling for a hospital exterior renovation in the Greater Chicago area. The project was initiated to support the replacement of exterior windows, requiring accurate, up-to-date measurements of the hospital’s facade to ensure a smooth installation process.

Scope of Work

Onpoint utilized 3D LiDAR scanning to capture detailed exterior data, generating a comprehensive color point cloud. This non-invasive method allowed for the efficient documentation of the building’s structure with minimal disruption to hospital operations. The on-site scanning took just two days to complete, capturing every necessary detail for the project.

Deliverables  

Onpoint provided a Revit model at Level of Development (LOD) 350, which included detailed geometry for the window replacement. This high-quality model was delivered 10 days after the scanning was finished, offering the architecture firm and the construction team a precise foundation for design and fabrication.
