ABSTRACT This article presents a case study on the virtual modeling and reconstruction of Architectural Heritage building. The graphic and semantic information required determining the conservation status of the building, obtained from point clouds and historical and bibliographical data, are combined. The different components are modeled manually by using commercial Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, and used to create a library of parametric elements under the concept of Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM). This represents a solution for the 3D modeling of a wide range of buildings in the same style, due to the flexibility of the modeled elements that can change in shape and proportions, thus adapting to new requirements. Moreover, technical documentation and quantitative and qualitative information can be produced, allowing detailed analysis to be carried out in a remote and multidisciplinary way within the general framework of “Smart heritage”.
