The Citadel is a former Napoleonic-era fortress on Dover’s Western Heights, later used as a prison and now home to a working film set. NavLive captured all 3,970m² of the site in under and hour, ready to import into BIM software.
The NavLive scanner captures a full 3D point cloud as you walk the site, with all processing handled in real time on the device. It's ready to view in the Portal as soon as the scan is uploaded.
The point cloud is automatically sliced at 1.4m to generate a top-down 2D view, ready to import into Revit, AutoCAD and other platforms as the foundation for your line work.
Side-on elevations are captured along both the X and Y axes, giving a clear view of the front and sides of the building, adding height dimensionality to your BIM model.
Our on-board AI automatically detects walls to generate an initial floor plan, which can be edited directly in the NavLive Portal after scanning. Export a DXF file directly into your BIM software for further refinement.
Rewalk the scan with our SiteView tool, viewing every photo captured automatically along the scan path alongside a first-person 3D point cloud for extra reference. Building schedules place photos of windows and doors at the exact position on the plan from which they were taken.
The data for all scans on this page was captured using the NavLive handheld scanner. A single operator simply walks through the building once and NavLive captures everything needed to create a complete digital record of the existing conditions, processing the data in real time as you scan.
