Recreating Block 'B'....

Post by: Joe Groves

My part of the project was to look at ‘Block B’ – as it was such a large section it was split between myself and another student. My remit was to look at the roofs, walls and windows – seeing how they could be remodelled back into their original state.

As you can see from the picture below, this section of the building suffered extensive fire damage. Therefore, when the building survey was carried out, none of the existing roofs are present.




This meant that when the survey was modelled from the point cloud data, it looked like the picture below.

Consequently, I gained a picture of what the roof structure and externals used to look like from the information gathered our group. Using the images found I was able to model the roof with relative accuracy by ‘tracing’ over the images within different views in Revit. This workflow can be seen in the images below.


Once the roofs were modelled, I continued to look at the windows. Most of the existing window opening remained, however some needed to be altered and a few removed all together.

Finally, as shown below, the model begins to resemble how it once stood. There are still a few sections that will require work however, before bringing all models together within Infraworks.
