SU.1132 BimCraft: scan to BIM, walls, floors and openings proposed from a point cloud
Asked (#1132, Oct 31): scan to BIM, naming the commercial scan-to-BIM programs and plug-ins.
Checked 2026-11-05: BimCraft reads point clouds (PLY, PCD, PTX, LAS; E57 in part) as a reference, and the Point clouds add-on (PC rows, CivilCraft, /lab) views, slices and measures large clouds. EG.37 (0.8) was a spike only: a phone scan's slice traced into walls and rooms, not in BimCraft's menus.
Not built: the point clouds add-on in BimCraft (PC.11, planned) and automatic extraction of walls, floors, columns, doors and windows. Do, after PC.11: slice by level, fit wall lines to the slice (the 0.7 plan trace), propose walls with thickness and height for the person to accept, and report how far each wall is from the points. Nothing was built for this card on 2026-11-05.
