<abstract>
<p>Building Information Modelling (BIM) technique has been widely utilized in heritage documentation and comes to a general term Historical/Heritage BIM (HBIM). The current HBIM project mostly employs the scan-to-BIM process to manually create the geometric model from the point cloud. This paper explains how it is possible to shape from the mesh geometry with reduced human involvement during the modelling process. Aiming at unbuilt heritage, two case studies are handled in this study, including a ruined Roman stone architectural and a severely damaged abbey. The pipeline consists of solid element modelling based on documentation data using &lt;i&gt;Autodesk Revit&lt;/i&gt;, a common BIM platform, and the successive modelling from these geometric primitives using &lt;i&gt;Autodesk Dynamo&lt;/i&gt;, a visual programming built-in plugin tool in &lt;i&gt;Revit&lt;/i&gt;. The BIM-based reconstruction enriches the classic visual model from computer graphics approaches with measurement, semantic and additional information. &lt;i&gt;Dynamo&lt;/i&gt; is used to develop a semi-automated function to reduce the manual process, which builds the final BIM model from segmented parametric elements directly. The level of detail (LoD) of the final models is dramatically relevant with the manual involvement in the element creation. The proposed outline also presents two potential issues in the ongoing work: combining the ontology semantics with the parametric BIM model, and introducing the proposed pipeline into the as-built HBIM process.</p>
