Simple 3D model of part of a building under construction helps with modeling and documentation. Boulder, Colorado.

As-built structural drawings

Example application for engineering sciences.

Terrestrial photogrammetric models can be used to construct or supplement as-built drawings. Photographs can be taken periodically during construction for staged modeling and documentation.
