Building Information Modeling and real world knowledge
Abstract
Building Information Modeling is considered by the scientific literature as an emerging trend in the architectural documentation scenario, as it is basically a digital representation of physical and functional features of facilities, serving as a shared knowledge resource during their whole life cycle. BIM is actually a process (not a software, as someone indicated), in which different players act sharing data through digital models in a coordinated, consistent and always up to date workflow, in order to reach reliability and higher quality all over the construction process. This way BIM tools were originally meant to ease the design of new architectures, generated by parametric geometries connected through hierarchical relationships of ''smart objects'' (components self-aware of their identity and conscious of their interactions with each other). However, this approach can also be successfully applied to what already exists: TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) or digital photogrammetry are supposed to be the first abstraction step in a methodology proposal intended as a scientific strategy in which BIM, relying on its own semantic splitting attitude and its topological structure, is explicitly used in representation of existing buildings belonging to the Cultural Heritage. Presenting some progresses in the development of a specific free Autodesk Revit plug-in, nicknamed GreenSpider after its capability to layout points in the digital domain as if they were nodes of an ideal cobweb, this paper examines how point clouds collected during high definition surveys can be processed with accuracy in a BIM environment, highlighting critical aspects and advantages deriving from the application of parametric techniques to the real world domain representation.

Outside-in Priority-based Approximation of 3D Models in LEGO Bricks
Fanni, Filippo Andrea; Rossi, Elisa De; Giachetti, Andrea (The Eurographics Association, 2022)In this paper, we discuss the problem of converting a 3D mesh into an assembly of LEGO blocks. The major challenge of this task is how to aggregate the voxels derived by the shape discretization into a set of standard ... -

Rational Bézier Guarding
Khanteimouri, Payam; Mandad, Manish; Campen, Marcel (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022)We present a reliable method to generate planar meshes of nonlinear rational triangular elements. The elements are guaranteed to be valid, i.e. defined by injective rational functions. The mesh is guaranteed to conform ...
