Our Solutions & Approach

The model is being used for the historic preservation of the building, ensuring that all architectural details are accurately documented. A key requirement was to model the facades with the highest precision, allowing only minimal tolerance.

One of the main difficulties in the process was capturing the complex details and irregularities of the historic structure while maintaining the required accuracy. The modeling process also presented particular challenges, such as working with detailed ornamentation, irregular railings, and ensuring that all elements aligned correctly despite possible deformations in the original structure.

Despite these challenges, careful planning and meticulous work allowed us to create a precise and reliable model that meets the project's high standards.
