3D-Documentation Definition

To capture the 3D-geometry and image

of real objects accurately & reproducible

at a certain point in time

and save it

as an informational model.

-

Or: …. to capture the true status of the

3D Reality around us now.

3D Documentation is not….

3D Documentation is not …

… it can be quite exciting!

Why document information in a digital info model?

Digital information is not constrained by:

– Mass

– Location

– Time

– Cost

– Risk

– Perspective

– Connectivity to other info models

Is it Surveying?

Surveying: „Where are the boundaries of real estate?“

3D-Documentation: …..of the true status of objects

Capture the true status of objects – in all detail
