Abstract
Abstract. The paper presents a novel prototype of integrated Historic BIM-GIS able to deal with multi-source, -scale, and -temporal information. It combines elements from the cartographic scale to a more detailed level of detail towards the building. It can be defined as a 3D virtual environment with an associate (geo)database able to encapsulate heterogeneous data not limited to products derived from the geometric survey, notwithstanding digital recording and its deliverables play a fundamental role. The system also provides a good interoperability level so that BIM and GIS software can exchange information, avoiding the implementation of functions and tools already available in other software packages. The example proposed in this contribution is related to the system of fortified structures around the city of Sondrio. Here, a single 3D environment was developed to encapsulate information from the cartographic level in an area of more than 135 km2 to the scale of 1:1 for specific architectural elements.
Highlights
Nowadays, projects based on the integrated use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) are becoming more popular especially at the scale of the infrastructure
Such issue is not new to specialists that have worked in the field more related to Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM), in which different authors have developed methods able to deal with the precise and detailed information encapsulated in point clouds, which reveal the geometric complexity of historic constructions
The paper presented and discussed the creation of an integr ated H-BIM-GIS system, in which multiple heterogeneous data sources were encapsulated starting from the cartographic scale to the different buildings and their constructive elements
Summary
Projects based on the integrated use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) are becoming more popular especially at the scale of the infrastructure. Heritage objects are often characterized by complex geometries, heterogeneous materials and construction technologies, and they were built in different stages with continuous modifications over time In this sense, the detailed representation requ ir ed in digital documentation projects based on modern surveying instruments must face the lack of flexibility offered by BIMGIS software, requiring novel solutions and approaches. The detailed representation requ ir ed in digital documentation projects based on modern surveying instruments must face the lack of flexibility offered by BIMGIS software, requiring novel solutions and approaches Such issue is not new to specialists that have worked in the field more related to Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM), in which different authors have developed methods able to deal with the precise and detailed information encapsulated in point clouds, which reveal the geometric complexity of historic constructions. The proposed example was carried using combining three software engines: ArcGIS Pro, Autodesk Revit, and Autodesk InfraWorks, which have procedures able to provide an efficient exchange of digital information
