Reveal CAD & BIM Models with Clip Animations
Bridge the gap between capture and deliverable—visually.
When working with reality capture data—point clouds, CAD drawings, or BIM models—each data type tells a different story about the same space. But the real value emerges when you show how these layers connect.
That’s why clip animations in NUBIGON are such a powerful tool.
Clip animations allow you to dynamically reveal or hide specific object categories—point clouds, meshes, CAD plans, or BIM models— throughout an animation. With this simple animation style, you can clearly demonstrate how point clouds transform into a model, helping stakeholders visualize progress, understand deliverables, and gain confidence in your work.
Reveal 2D CAD Plans Over Point Clouds
One example is overlaying 2D CAD plans directly onto point clouds. This creates a compelling visual alignment between surveyed data and design documentation. Here’s a quick tutorial showing how to create that exact effect in NUBIGON:
Visualize the Scan-to-BIM Journey
Another common workflow is scan-to-BIM. It typically starts with a point cloud and ends with a detailed BIM model, yet clients rarely see both side-by-side. That’s a missed opportunity.
With split clip animations in NUBIGON, you can show how one transitions into the other, clarifying what makes scan-to-BIM a valuable process.
Why This Matters
Clarity: Let stakeholders see how raw data becomes refined.
Trust: Demonstrate alignment between different deliverables.
Impact: Use animation to simplify technical communication.
