Overlay as-built data on top of BIM and share it with all team members and owners – in a collaborative environment.

1. To begin, define your use cases – common ones are listed below:
   1. Demolition
   2. Installation and Placement
   3. QA/QC
   4. Progress Tracking
2. Next, obtain your data – there are two main ways to do this:
   1. Use your own equipment, either with tripod-based devices or handheld devices
      1. Tripods are more prevalent and are designed for bigger spaces; Scanners have 120-1000m range
      2. Handhelds are generally used for smaller rooms (e.g. mechanical room or closet) and have 10m range
   2. Hire a Scanning Service to come in and obtain your data; ensure that you have clearly specified your requirements for format, accuracy, and registration
3. Finally, understand the opportunity to avoid converting the Point Cloud – use the intelligence of the Assemble Desktop Application to provide 3D context:
   1. Aid in recognizing shapes
   2. Tag them as objects and create point cloud component library
   3. Perform clash detection between CAD-to-CAD or Point Cloud-to-CAD
   4. Use animation tool to remove and move demolition objects
   5. Merge them with your current construction Building Information Model
