Now included in the Matterport subscription, customers can turn a Matterport digital twin captured by a compatible 3D camera into a ready-to-use BIM file with one click. The result is delivered within days, ready to be fed into the BIM application of their choice. This new service dramatically speeds up projects and reduces associated costs by up to 70%, eliminating the traditional manual process that takes a lot of time and effort.
In addition, Matterport also announced a new plug-in system for customers of Autodesk® (Nasdaq: ADSK) Revit®, the leading BIM software used in the industry to create space models for design, visualization, analysis and construction. Now architects, designers and building engineers can immediately upload the Matterport BIM file to Revit and start creating and managing construction or design project information step by step.
According to Jim Quanci, senior director of Autodesk Developer Network: “The launches of the Matterport BIM file and Revit plug-in demonstrate Matterport's commitment to the architectural, engineering and construction industries. It also shows how the use of BIM practices and technology platforms can increase the level of efficiency and automate the management of certain activities for Autodesk customers. We are delighted to be working alongside Matterport to make BIM "as built" easier. "
Boost productivity while reducing modeling costs by 70%
The BIM offer brings together all the information relating to each component of a building in one place. Project stakeholders can include information on performance, material types, costs, etc. in the BIM model. Until now, this process required a considerable amount of CAD (Computer Aided Design) measurement and translation work to feed phenomenal amounts of data into the system, which could take several weeks or more, depending on the size and size. the complexity of the project.
With the Matterport BIM file, teams can generate the same result at a cost that is a fraction of the usual cost of developing the right documentation, while reducing modeling costs for their clients.
For Akira Jones, Director of Digital Services at HH Angus and Associates Ltd: “The modeling costs that are passed on to the customer can be very high. The savings of 70% achieved with the Matterport BIM file is significant, and we believe our customers will be very satisfied with the adoption of this new scan-to-BIM system. As we are already using Matterport to capture precise 3D twins of all our spaces, we just need to order the BIM file with a few clicks and put it into Revit. We removed over 40 person / hours on recent work which allowed our team to devote more time to delivering great design work for our clients. "
Simplify the BIM workflow
Matterport's BIM file makes it easy for customers to adopt this new scan-to-BIM system. First, a digital twin is created by scanning space with a 3D camera like the Mattport Pro2 or by programming a highly qualified technician through Matterport Capture Services. Then the BIM file can be ordered from their Matterport account. At the reception, customers can import it into the BIM application of their choice. For those using the Revit plug-in, the BIM file can be immediately uploaded to their Autodesk space.
For Preethy Vaidyanathan, vice president of products at Matterport: “We worked with Autodesk on our Revit plug-in and collaborated with some of the largest and most recognized companies in the industry to develop Matterport's BIM file offering. With the launch of these two solutions for the construction industry, we are excited to offer the fastest and most convenient way to go from a Matterport 3D scan to a BIM file in just a few days and with just a click. . Matterport's BIM file not only offers a revolutionary return on investment for our building clients, it also serves as a single, trusted source for design, construction and property management. "
