Point Cloud Project (MEP)

Project Name: Stadium Building

Project Address: USA

AEC Case Studies

Project Brief


This stadium project, based in USA, involved modeling MEP services from point cloud data. The client provided ReCap files along with architectural and structural Revit models. Using Jet Streamer for 3D viewing and Cintoo for detecting mismatches and missing elements, we ensured precision and clarity. Leveraging high-quality scans, Revit plugins, custom Families, and phased modeling, we overcame challenges and successfully delivered the MEP model for the stadium at LOD 350.

Our team coordinated closely with the architectural and structural disciplines to ensure seamless integration of MEP services. Clash detection and resolution were carried out iteratively, improving model accuracy and constructability. The use of Cintoo's reporting tools helped us identify and rectify discrepancies early in the process. The final output met all client expectations, making this a successful project in point cloud-based stadium modeling for MEP services.

Challenges


While Modeling MEP services in Revit from a point cloud, our team encountered several challenges as follows:

1
Point Cloud Data Quality

Point cloud data had noise, gaps, or misalignments, making accurate tracing of MEP elements difficult and leading to modeling errors in Revit.

2
Complexity of MEP Services

MEP elements like pipes and ducts often sag or misalign, and non-standard fittings require manual modeling or custom Revit Families.

3
Time Consuming Process

MEP modeling from point cloud data is time-consuming due to manual tracing, complex layouts, custom components, data cleanup, and coordination with architectural and structural models.

Solution


Our team used advanced tools such as Jet Streamer, Cintoo and Autodesk ReCap with high-quality scans to model scattered point cloud regions, addressing challenges through noise filtering, Revit plugins, custom Families, and phased modeling.

This approach ensured accurate design alignment with building conditions and roof slope, enabling efficient coordination and successful project delivery at LOD 350.
