CONSTRUCTION (IN EXISTING CONTEXTS) & POINTCAB ORIGINS
3D laser scanning is gaining more and more importance, especially in construction. As a fast and accurate capturing method, it is far more efficient than conventional surveying methods. Thanks to laser scanning, a wide variety of structures, such as plants, bridges or buildings, can be acquired within a very short time frame. This is especially usefull, if you’re required to build in existing context.
With PointCab Origins you can quickly evaluate the laser scanning data, delivering layouts, measurements and more in no time. This imporves the planing and design process immensly and helps saving time and money. Furthermore, it’s the perfect tool to easily document the constructions process for your clients.
AREAS OF APPLICATION
- Comprehensive recording of all existing structures
- Creating an accuarte planing basis
- Volume calculations, mesurements, layouts a.m.m.
- Ongoing documentation of the construction progress
- Precisely fitting new structures into existing ones
ADVANTAGES OF POINTCAB
- Fast deliverables
- As-built documentation
- Easy data sharing
- Reduces planning costs
- Reduces planning errors
ADDED VALUE IN CONSTRUCTION (AS BUILT)
- Time saving when importing and editing point clouds in CAD programs
- Independent of point cloud formats
- Easy measurements within point clouds
- The fastest way to get plans in the form of raster images with associated CAD files (DWG/DXF, etc.),
which can be used as a reference for drawing or modeling.
OFTEN USED
Origins and Origins Pro are both suitable for construction (as built). If point clouds are to be registered additionally and the Space Warp module is to be used, Origins Pro is the right choice!
