Project Overview

This exceptional custom-built home, located in the exclusive guard-gated community of Troon, is set on a one-acre lot and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Valley and surrounding mountains.

This multi level home is designed with a Great Room with a Cantera stone fireplace which comes with an elegant wet bar, a larges gourmet kitchen, a standard study off the entry door, media room, exercise room and a wine cellar. Sliding disappearing doors open up the home to a resort like backyard ideal for indoor/outdoor entertaining which features a Pebble Tec pool with a spa, boulder water feature, built in BBQ and cooktop, fireplace and a range of sitting areas.

The large Master Suite features a fireplace, a large en suite bathroom and a spacious covered verandah all around.

At CAD Drafting Role in the Project

1. Initial Data Assessment

The client provided them with suboptimal Matterport link and point cloud data. The first step taken in this research was to carry out a preliminary analysis in order to evaluate the reliability and the representativeness of the data offered on the firms.

2. Data Conversion

As per the client’s direction, I transformed the given.las file to point cloud file type with the help of Recap.

Combined the point cloud data into Revit to model from the roof planes and parapet wall with the correct angles.

3. Model Adjustment

Changed the position of roof planes to reflect that it is shown in.las file as propagated in the Revit elements.

Combined the point cloud data into Revit to model from the roof planes and parapet wall with the correct angles.

Changed the model to fix errors in which some roofs were oriented at the wrong direction regarding parapet walls.

4. Client Communication and Feedback

Discussed with the client on the specifications they wanted to be implemented, most importantly accurate depiction of roof plane and the integration of.las file data.

Offered proximal progress reports and incorporated the delivered client feedback into the next iteration of the model.

Challenges in the Project

1. The first link of the Matterport and more specifically the linked point cloud had numerous issues which had to be adjusted and increased in quality by the BIM team.

2. The curved walls and door panels posed significant challenges in model creation, which were addressed with precision by the BIM experts.

3. The point cloud data for the roof was unclear. The team had to rely on Google Earth and additional images to reconstruct the roof accurately.

Conclusion

1. Successfully integrated lidar .las file data into the Revit model, resulting in an accurate depiction of roof planes and parapet walls.

2. Was able to enhance the model though faced some issues with the data quality, which allowed it to meet the client’s renovation needs.

3. Handed over an efficient and accurate BIM model through the work accomplished in the previous phases of the renovation plan.
