SYNOPSIS

Reality modeling is the process of creating accurate digital models representing the current state of an infrastructure asset. These models may capture the visual, dimensional, or performance aspects of the asset. One powerful tool for reality modeling, Bentley's ContextCapture, makes it possible to quickly create visually and dimensionally accurate 3D digital models based on photographic imagery or LiDAR scans. With modest technical know-how and practice, it is possible to create a model with any type of camera, whether it be a DSLR on ground or from a helicopter, a camera mounted on a UAV, or a multi-camera system mounted on an airplane.

Reality modeling through ContextCapture can provide an opportunity for firms engaged in the design, engineering, and project delivery to provide additional value-added services to their customers. Reality modeling based on Bentley's tools is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this opportunity due to a number of characteristics:

• 3D models can be quickly created of the current, as-is, state of an infrastructure asset which are both visually and dimensionally accurate. These models are referred to as reality meshes.
• The reality meshes created in the way integrate seamlessly with the Bentley modeling tools, such as MicroStation and the many design applications. This integration enables detailed design
• Modeling with standard Bentley design tools directly within the context of the reality meshes without requiring any translation or transformation. Further, the reality meshes can be edited in a variety of ways to suit a specific use case.
• All the standard deliverables can be directly created from these integrated models, e.g., 2D drawings, 3D PDFs, renderings, animations, 3D prints.
• The reality meshes can be exported into many industry standard formats, e.g., .obj, .fbx, etc., to be used by other non-Bentley applications.

This unique characteristic of the Bentley reality modeling toolset makes possible a broad range of opportunities:
• Design in context
• Interactive inspection
• Construction monitoring/status
• Environmental analysis
• Safety and security analysis

Join us for a short introduction on how reality modeling will benefit your projects and increase your design effectiveness and delivery.
