Client Overview

Our client George Poulos is a graduate student in the Construction and Facility Management program at the University of North Carolina @Charlotte.

Project Overview

George, was investigating ways to convert 3D laser scans into a universally accessible format for facility management. During his research, he discovered ProtoTech’s 3D PDF exporter, a solution designed to convert Revit files into 3D PDFs—an ideal option for his project.

Challenges:

  • Not all stakeholders had access to advanced CAD software, making it difficult to share and view BIM models.
  • Maintaining the high-quality representation of the original Revit models was necessary for accurate review and decision-making.
  • Large file sizes of Revit models made sharing across teams cumbersome and inefficient.
  • Purchasing additional CAD software licenses for every stakeholder would have resulted in high costs.

Solutions:

  • ProtoTech’s 3D PDF-Revit Exporter Plugin was used to convert Revit models into universally accessible 3D PDFs, eliminating the need for advanced CAD software.
  • The 3D PDF exporter preserved the quality and details of the Revit models during conversion, ensuring critical information was not lost.
  • The 3D PDF files were lightweight, making them easy to share via email or cloud services, which improved collaboration efficiency.
  • By using 3D PDFs, Client’s team avoided the need to invest in additional costly software, significantly reducing expenses.

Benefits:

  • Increased Accessibility: 3D PDFs enabled to share the models with stakeholders who did not have access to Revit, ensuring everyone could view the models without needing specialized software.
  • Ease of Distribution: The exported files were small and easy to share, making it simple to send them via email or cloud platforms.
  • Cost Savings: By converting the models into 3D PDFs, avoided the need to purchase additional CAD software licenses, saving money for the organization.
  • Quality Retention: The 3D PDF files retained the high-quality representation of the original Revit models, ensuring that essential details were not lost during conversion.

"My name is George Poulos and I'm working to complete my Masters in Construction & Facilities Management at the University of North Carolina @ Charlotte. As a part of my thesis, I am researching the conversion of raw 3D scan data so that it's useful for the facility managers. ProtoTech 3D PDF Exporter for Revit is an extremely useful tool in that process. I would like to thank ProtoTech for their fantastic technology and super support!"
