IFC digital twins: point clouds, LiDAR, video and maps

Combining IFC with point clouds, temporal LiDAR, construction video and 3D maps in the browser — each guide with a working demo you can open.

All 7 guides on this topic

IFC Point Cloud Viewer: Real Scan-to-BIM Case + Browser Demo

See a real CRAS TLS-to-IFC alignment, inspect sections and launch an interactive IFC + LAS browser demo with no model upload.

Warehouse Digital Twin: IFC + Moving LiDAR in the Browser

See a forklift and an autonomous cart move through a dense warehouse point cloud while the IFC stays available as the designed spatial reference.

4D Construction Progress: IFC + Temporal Point Cloud Demo

Scrub through structural phases, follow a lifted panel and reveal a deliberately shifted column return cluster against the IFC reference.

Tunnel Inspection Digital Twin: IFC + Mobile LiDAR Replay

Move an inspection trolley through dense services, visualize its scan fan and localize a changing wall-condition cluster in the IFC corridor.

How to View an IFC on a 3D Map: Georeferenced BIM in the Browser

Open a real IFC4 pavilion in its Barcelona map context, inspect the live 3D demo, and learn how IfcProjectedCRS and IfcMapConversion place BIM correctly.

Real-Time LiDAR + IFC in the Browser: MCAP Replay Demo

Run the actual web replay interface and learn the bounded buffers, binary frames and telemetry behind an honestly labelled simulated IFC + LiDAR stream.

IFC + Video on 3D Terrain: Interactive Construction Demo

See the actual viewer place video beside IFC as a screen, terrain overlay or billboard, then try metric position and opacity in the browser demo.
