Abstract
With Building Information Modeling(BIM) becoming the de facto standard for data sharing in the AEC industry, additional needs have increased to ensure the data integrity of BIM models themselves. Although the Industry Foundation Classes provide an open and neutral data format, its generalized schema leaves it open to data loss and misclassifications This research applied deep learning to automatically classify BIM elements and thus check the integrity of BIM-to-IFC mappings. Multi-view CNN(MVCC) and PointNet, which are two deep learning models customized to learn and classify in 3 dimensional non-euclidean spaces, were used. The analysis was restricted to classifying subtypes of architectural walls. MVCNN resulted in the highest performance, with ACC and F1 score of 0.95 and 0.94. MVCNN unitizes images from multiple perspectives of an element, and was thus able to learn the nuanced differences of wall subtypes. PointNet, on the other hand, lost many of the detailed features as it uses a sample of the point clouds and perceived only the 'skeleton' of the given walls.
