Swiss Edelweiss Village – Edward Feuz’s Chalet

The Capture2Preserv Team worked with the  Swiss Edelweiss Village foundation and the Presence Switzerland to start the digital preservation of the Swiss Edelweiss Village in Golden, BC in May 2022.  The data collected through this partnership will allow for the digital preservation of these six unique historic buildings and provide detailed plans for future conservation work. The Edward Feuz House was the first building to be scanned and employed two laser scanners (Z+F 5010X and Lecia BLK 360). The Z+F 5010X was used to record the exterior with 17 scan locations (red ). The interior was recorded with the Leica BLK 360 with 44 scan locations distributed over the three floors (blue). Six targets were located around the exterior of the building to help with the registration of the scans. The scans from the exterior were registered using Z+F Laser Scout software and the interior were registered using Lecia Cyclone Field 360 software. The resulting point clouds were then exported into AutoDesk ReCap Pro to register the two projects together and further processing. The resulting point cloud was used to create a detailed 3D model of the building.
