Automatic Fitting of Point Clouds into 3D Models of Excavation Sites to calculate Progress Information

Monitoring the progress of the construction sites is very important for the optimal project management. Within the framework of the Software Lab project, we developed a plug-in for Revit software, which can automatic fit the Point Cloud we obtain from the excavation site into the Building Information Model, and subsequently calculates the excavated volume. In the following report we present the procedure for creating the Plug-in for Revit, the theory upon which our project was based as well as the difficulties we faced and the solutions we finally found.     «
