Building Information Models

A digital twin is a 3-D copy of the building-walls, ducts, light fixtures, even the coffee stain on the third-floor carpet-all fused from Matterport's room-scale scans and Leica's laser-perfect geometry. It's not static, Drop in weather data and the twin predicts roof ponding; push occupancy counts and HVAC loads recalibrate themselves. 

Matterport builds your BIM shell in one sweep: Pro3 LiDAR camera spins through every corridor, exports millimeter-true E57 clouds you drag straight into Revit-no manual tracing, no scale fights. Tags walls, doors, fixtures as you walk, so the MEP guy opens the model and knows exactly where the sprinkler tie-in goes.

Leica, on the other hand, gives you lab-grade geometry: BLK360 spins 60 million points a minute, 4-millimeter accurate out to thirty meters. Hit one button in the app, it snaps to Matterport's mesh, and suddenly your BIM isn't pretty good-it's legally defensible for curtain-wall bids or courtroom disputes. Two tools, one model, no excuses.
