Jointly Rendering Point Clouds & BIM Models with NUBIGON
NUBIGON’s versatile rendering styles allow point clouds and BIM models to be viewed together, offering seamless visualization of scan-to-BIM deliverables. This improves site intelligence, enhances project presentations, and simplifies understanding models within a real-world context.
Visualizing Point Clouds & BIM Models
DCMS Network’s hospital scan-to-BIM project leverages NUBIGON’s wide range of rendering styles to present point clouds and BIM models together. The video demonstrates how accurately the model reflects real-world conditions from the scan, with smart color choices for point clouds, model faces, and 3D edges providing a clear and detailed project visualization.

Clipping a BIM Model to Reveal a Point Cloud
In this scan-to-BIM project demo, the point cloud’s X-ray display adds real-world context to the as-built model. The wireframe model allows exploration without blocking visibility. A dynamic clip animation temporarily hides the model, revealing the point cloud and enhancing spatial understanding.

Clipping a Point Cloud to Reveal a BIM Model
In this project, the scan was conducted to verify the design’s fit for a planned racetrack upgrade. Excelsior Measuring uses clip animations to gradually reveal the BIM model beneath the point cloud, providing a clear view of how the upgrades will integrate with the existing site.

Animating Point Clouds & BIM Models
TPLM-3D’s industrial as-built modeling project highlights the joint rendering of point clouds and models. The video transitions the point cloud from surface to x-ray mode, enhancing visibility, while animated model components dynamically showcase the modeling quality.

Transitioning between Point Clouds & BIM Models
For the presentation of the La Perle project, UrbanSurveys uses NUBIGON to render videos with different object materials along the same camera path. The segments are then combined in editing software. The final video showcases the scan and modeling deliverables used for 3D projection.

Stitching Point Clouds & BIM Videos
DCMS demonstrates how advanced users can combine NUBIGON video footage with third-party architectural rendering software. This method merges point cloud and model rendering from NUBIGON with model-only rendering from third-party software, offering a comprehensive project presentation.
