• Herritage-Based Industrial Modeling

Multiple Select

Why is BIM especially useful for historical buildings?

(Select all that apply)

• Historical buildings often have irregular shapes

• Project documentation is often missing or incomplete

• They are always built using modern standards

• BIM helps improve accuracy in planning and costs

• Historical buildings never change over time

What do BIM dimensions mean?

• 3D

• 4D

• 5D

• 6D

Geometric model

Time planning

Cost management

Sustainability

• Geometric model

• Time planning

• Cost management

• Sustainability

Multiple Choice

What is the first thing created after scanning an object?

• Final IFC model

• Construction time schedule

• Point cloud

• Cost calculation

Multiple Choice

Why is the current state of a historical building NOT fully modeled in H-BIM?

• Point cloud already represents the current state

• Modeling the whole building is forbidden

• PC cannot handle historical building model

• Only costs are important in H-BIM

Multiple Select

What does the missing documentation and 3D model affect?

(Select all that apply)

• Inaccurate cost estimation

• Incorrect time scheduling

• Unclear maintenance planning

• Higher architectural creativity

• Facade color

Reorder

Put the steps of historical building digitization in the correct order.

• Laser scanning / drone photogrammetry
