Reality-Based Modelling

Reality-based modelling is the creation of digital models directly from captured real-world data, such as laser scanning or photogrammetry datasets.

Unlike traditional modelling workflows that rely solely on design drawings, reality-based modelling uses measured spatial data as its primary source. This approach ensures that digital representations accurately reflect existing conditions in complex environments.

Reality-based models are widely used in industrial facilities, infrastructure projects and renovation work where precise knowledge of the existing environment is essential for planning, analysis and coordination.
