Introducing the BIM Deviation Analyzer
In the construction industry, it's very important to make sure that the actual building
matches the planned design. We are excited to introduce our new web application, the BIM
Deviation Analyzer. This tool helps users compare their construction models with point cloud
data to find any differences. This presentation will explain how the BIM Deviation Analyzer
works, its features, and the benefits it offers. It shows how this tool can improve
accuracy, teamwork, and efficiency in your construction projects.
Features and Functionalities
1. Heat Map Generation
The BIM Deviation Analyzer offers heat maps, providing visual reports that highlight
deviations between the Building Information Model (BIM) and the point cloud data. This
feature allows users to quickly identify and analyze discrepancies, ensuring that the
construction aligns with the planned design.
2. Cloud-Based Collaboration
Our application supports cloud-based collaboration, enabling teams to easily share and
present deviation analysis results. This ensures that all stakeholders, including clients
and team members, are on the same page, and it can also handle large datasets. The
cloud-based nature of the application ensures accessibility and scalability, allowing for
seamless integration into your workflow.
3. Synchronized View Comparison
The synchronized view comparison feature allows users to see deviation results alongside the
actual model in a parallel view. By clicking on a specific element, users can examine both
the original and deviated models side by side. This detailed, element-by-element comparison
facilitates a deeper understanding of deviations at various levels of the building,
enhancing accuracy in assessment and decision-making.
4. Graphical Representation
The BIM Deviation Analyzer also provides graphical representations of deviations. These bar
graphs display deviations of different elements (columns, beams, walls, etc.) across various
levels of the building. This feature enables users to quickly identify patterns and areas
that require attention, streamlining the deviation analysis process.
5. Multiple Report Generation
In the BIM Deviation Analyzer, users can generate multiple reports with different deviation
ranges. This flexibility allows for detailed analysis tailored to specific project needs,
providing insights across various tolerance levels.
Step 1: Upload Your IFC Model and Point Cloud
Begin by uploading your IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) model and the corresponding point
cloud data. Ensure that both datasets share the same location coordinates for accurate
analysis.
After uploading your data, click the 'Analyze' button. The BIM Deviation Analyzer will
process the information, comparing the BIM model with the point cloud data.
Step 3: View Heat Map and Detailed Analysis
Once the analysis is complete, a heat map will be generated, visually highlighting
deviations. Users can explore these deviations in detail through synchronized views and
graphical representations.
The BIM Deviation Analyzer ensures precise deviation analysis, helping to identify and
rectify discrepancies early in the construction process. This accuracy reduces the risk of
costly rework and delays.
With cloud-based collaboration, teams can easily share and discuss analysis results,
enhancing communication and coordination among stakeholders. This feature supports effective
project management and decision-making.
By quickly identifying and addressing deviations, the BIM Deviation Analyzer saves time and
reduces costs associated with errors and rework. The graphical representation feature
further streamlines the analysis process, providing clear insights at a glance.
The combination of heat maps, synchronized views, and graphical representations offers a
comprehensive analysis of deviations. Users can delve into specific elements and levels,
ensuring a thorough understanding of discrepancies and their impacts.
