Beyond Digital Representation

Abstract

The topic of the relationship between digital restitutive model and measurement can find important development possibilities in machine procedures, in particular in the Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) field. In fact, BIM uses parameterized and pre-defined objects in special 3D libraries articulated according to the architectural components, not corresponding to ideal configurations. Moreover, BIM platforms are limited in modeling deformations, damages, and degradations. The paper investigates the advantages of using visual programming to increase the possibilities given by the BIM software, born for new buildings, by carrying out a semi-automatic assessment of the geometric reliability directly in the BIM environment. In particular, the algorithm compares model’s shapes with the cast of the artifact given by the point cloud, and declares it, by automatically filling a dedicated reliability parameter linked to the BIM model element.
