      abstract = {In this paper we present and evaluate an approach for the automatic generation of building models in
                  IFC BIM format from unstructured Point Clouds scans, as they result from 3D laser scans of
                  buildings. While the actual measurement process is relatively fast, 85% of the overall time are
                  spend on the interpretation and transformation of the resulting Point Cloud data into information,
                  which can be used in architectural and engineering design workflows. Our approach to tackle this
                  problem, is in contrast to existing ones which work on the levels of points, based on the detection
                  of building elements, such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and spaces and the relation between
                  these. We present use cases with our software prototype, evaluate the results, and discuss future
                  work, that
                  will bring the research further towards the aim to create automatically semantic links between the
                  conception of building design in BIM and simulations with the build environment.}
