3D Digital Twin

Magma offers flexibility when it comes to creating and managing the 3D digital twin of your building.

Creating the 3D Twin with Magma

If your building does not yet have a 3D model, Magma’s team can create a digital twin from scratch, depending on your demand. While creating the DTT® of your building, you will be asked if you already have a 3D model or if you want Magma to create one.

In this case, you will need to precise a few details about the fidelity of the model:

Importing an Existing 3D Twin

If your building already has a 3D model, Magma allows you to import this existing digital twin directly into the platform. The import process is straightforward and supports a variety of 3D file formats, thanks to our integration with Speckle viewer.

Here’s how importing works:

1. File Compatibility: Magma supports the import of 3D models from popular design tools such as Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, XXXXXXXX.

2. Data Synchronization: After importing, the 3D model will be synchronized with the DTT® for your building. This means that all documents, metadata, and other relevant information will be linked to the imported model, maintaining the integrity and accuracy of your building’s digital twin.

Why the 3D Twin Is Important

Whether created by Magma or imported from existing models, the 3D twin of your building plays a crucial role in the platform’s functionality for several reasons:

1. Centralized Reference: The 3D twin acts as a centralized, visual reference for all stakeholders involved in the building's management. It provides an easy-to-understand, comprehensive view of the building, facilitating better decision-making and coordination among owners, asset managers, facility managers, and other parties.

2. Enhanced Collaboration: With the 3D twin integrated into the Magma platform, stakeholders can collaborate more effectively. The visual nature of the twin allows for clear communication, reducing misunderstandings and ensuring that everyone is on the same page regarding the building’s status and needs.

3. Real-Time Updates: The 3D twin is not just a static model; it evolves over time as the building changes. Whether it’s a renovation, an upgrade, or routine maintenance, the 3D twin is updated to reflect these changes, ensuring that the DTT® always represents the current state of the building.

4. Operational Efficiency: By integrating the 3D twin with the building’s DTT®, Magma provides a powerful tool for operational management. Facility managers can use the 3D model to quickly locate systems and components, plan maintenance, and optimize building operations. The ability to visualize the building in three dimensions enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of these tasks.

5. Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management: The detailed nature of the 3D twin ensures that all structural and operational aspects of the building are well-documented. This is vital for meeting regulatory requirements and managing risks, as it provides an accurate and up-to-date record of the building’s condition and compliance with standards.

Whether you create a new 3D twin with Magma or import an existing one, this digital representation is essential for maximizing the value and functionality of your building’s DTT®. It enhances collaboration, supports efficient operations, and ensures that your building’s digital and physical realities are always aligned.
