46 Westgate RoadPoint Cloud Data

• Three separate sets of point cloud data were synced together to form one set for the site and surrounding context• This data was imported into Revit where the point cloud was aligned to the existing city model• Once aligned the data could be used to accurately model the adjacent buildings to the site
