[54] Encoding geometric shapes from Building Information Models using graph neural networks

Core GNN/GML BIM Classification & Semantic Enrichment 2020

Paper Description extracted from PDF · abstract · 129 words

Information-rich BIM models are rarely usable off-the-shelf for operations tasks. Change decisions made on the construction site can lead to significant differences between the as-designed and as-built state of buildings. The responsibility for keeping the digital representation in sync with its physical twin is not defined and will likely only fully be assigned when automatic methods facilitate the geometric update process. To this end, previous research succeeded in (1) identifying if an element was erected at the time and position it was initially designed, and (2) updating the parametric design geometry to fit its LiDAR-measured as-built state under a set of assumptions and threshold values. The research presented in this paper aims at updating the as-designed model in case of significant pose differences between the as-designed and as-built state.
