Abstract: The subject system provides for the generation of a three-dimensional (3D) model from point cloud data migration. In some aspects, the subject system includes defining a coordinate system in 3D model, and determining shared reference points for a project base point based on an origin point and a quasi-north point of the 3D model. The subject system also includes providing the shared reference points to a building information modeling (BIM) project, and aligning the BIM project to the project base point.
