Integration of construction equipment and soil

An additional work was done on the Revit model, it involves integrating construction equipment and soil.

➫ Recovery and addition of material:

Stéphane LESAIGLE, our teacher was in charge of enriching the material model. This is how he proceeded:

• Retrieving a model containing material in .rvt format
• Registration of this material as a family
• Opening of the Revit model and insertion of the family
• Scaling and calibration of equipment

This last work was tedious. Indeed, there is no automation, so it is necessary to manually stick the form to the veil that will be made, and that respecting the phasing.

Conclusion: Once you have a file with hardware, integrating it is not complicated in itself, but adjusting it to scale and stalling it according to the sails makes the job more difficult. The PCMO software is more adapted to these manipulations because it integrates the banners automatically with respect to the phasing. Nevertheless, with PCMO, it is not possible to visualize this material in virtual reality because the format is not compatible with 3D immersion.

➫ Soil integration:

Since Bouygues provided us with the topographic survey of the land, we decided to integrate it into the Revit model:

Philippe DESPRE, geometry-topographer teacher at Lycée Laplace, was responsible for modeling the soil on the COVADIS software. We then retrieved it in IFC format and integrated it into the Revit model. There followed a rigging work.

Conclusion: The topographic survey that we had was a preliminary survey, the excavations and embankments were not yet realized. The modeled floor is therefore not in conformity with the building and does not fit with it. Nevertheless, the results are coherent and above all allowed a collaboration between the "Building" section and the "Topography / Surveyor" section.
