Laser Scanning for As-Built Drawings

[@coldcopy4607]

I regularily use scanners for land surveying work. We provide highly detailed Revit files to clients - mostly architects. I perform the site/scan work and then draft in Revit. I must say I'd much rather be working with pointclouds than traditional methods. Saves a lot of time, and what better memory for details than a 360 degree photograph?

can i ask you a question in what you said ?

[@coldcopy4607]

@@eslamghariep6254 Sure.

[@pstuddy]

they need to apply this tech to all buildings in google earth already!

[@Amorstopineed]

Looks so cool and fast, but working with point clouds needs hell of time.

[@rodakaskas]

does the operator have to hide so that he will not be scanned?

[@UserES2000]

Yes he does. Or he can stay next to the scanner on the opposite side of the scanner lens. But if he does that he will need to keep moving as the scanner rotates

[@9127aljo]

Amazing video! Where can you buy this equipment to do all this yourself?

i want to ask a question in 3 d scanner please

this video looks like its from the 90s

Informational video posted in 2016 with background filler music like it's the 90's.

How much is the 3d scanner

[@ahmadalsagoff6597]

How do i start, prep and look for customer in light of a 3D scanning business

[@johnfrmitchell373]

Hi Ahmad, there are many applications for this technology, real estate listings, fire and flood restoration, facility management, the uses are many talk to real estate agents, they would be a good resource

[@amervlogger]

Great video 📹 👍

[@amervlogger]

@Jesiah Fisher sure definitely

[@theswimclub8582]

Autodesk recap and revit allow you to see and model from the point cloud.. but it is pretty tedious if you have to model detailed sections... the technology of 3d scanning is very innovative though.

[@jankulesza2608]

Hello, Just curious of the timestamp 5:50 - 5:52 , may i ask what methods you have used to recreate the point cloud into a solid structure? did you do extrude by hand or was there an automatic way that Revit understands to create?

[@TDSYNNEXPublicSector]

All of the modeling was done in Revit by manually tracing the features of the point cloud that are visible in plan and section views using Revit's standard modelling tools for creating Walls, Doors, Windows, and etc.

Hi i am Looking for free Data from 3d Laser Scanning, can you help me please. i will be very thankful for you

[@Coniferous1]

@@TDSYNNEXPublicSector is it not possible to generate or to make an automatic extraction of wall lines on a plan view in Revit?

[@lindaliu3887]

@2:09 , Hi sir, if you are measuring in the panoramic image, what is the dimension accuracy ? will it be as the video mentioned is 2mm?

[@daveyoung4714]

All measurements are done from the points in the cloud. It does not matter how you are looking at it.

[@osmanesli5908]

i love point cloud modeling work😃

[@eslamghariep6254]

can i ask you a question in this topic ?

[@اللؤلؤالمكنونوالذكرالحكيم]

when i can get like this course???

[@Civil.Structural3000]

well done!

[@samiasha1556]

Hi, what is the software name that is used with this camera? Can we transfer the information to Autocad too?

[@MalamuteKid]

The video shows a Faro scanner being used to collect laser scan data, laser scan data being processed in Faro Scene, processed data being viewed in Autodesk Recap, and then the Recap point cloud (RCP file) attached to Revit.

[@ericscott3672]

Yes, you can use the point cloud in AutoCAD or Revit. Depends on your specific workflow

a 1999 video about something in 2016

[@arejays6701]

😁🤣

[@jyotisahoo2527]

Can I apply this mechanism for measuring automotive parts ??

[@argentosebastian]

Probably not a very good idea. Google Faro Arm

[@daveyoung4714]

This would work well if you want to scan the exterior of a vehicle, or maybe the inside of a bus, but Faro has much better solutions for parts. 2mm accuracy is way more than you need for a building, but not even close for a part.

Hi, i'm planning to buy a new pc and i'll use with this kind of software as well as revit, recap and laser scanner and i would like to know what are the specs of the pc in the video running the programs... Thanks

You will want 32GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD and an Intel i7 processor. Your video card should be an nVidia GTX 1050 or higher.

[@carloscruz3935]

@@TITANAEC You will need a Quadro P4000 or Higher & Intel Xeon & at least 16 GB ram for good performance. Trust me.

[@daveyoung4714]

You need as much computer as you can afford, and then some. Small buildings can get by with only 32Gb of Ram, but if you have anything medium to large you might want start at 64Gb. If you are processing the scan data yourself using Faro Scene (or other), look into an i9 or Xeon processor. FAST solid state drives are a must.

[@rts9532]

what time does it take to make a measurement of first building?

[@BioagtiveCalvin]

I'd like to know too, do we have to wait any hour per scan?

[@peapod6747]

About 3 minutes per scan

[@ericscott3672]

It really depends on the resolution you want and if you want color or only gray-scale- higher resolution takes more time as does adding color images

[@jacktoddy9783]

Surely you mean - you can create an accurate 'Building Model'. A BIM model is rather more complex than this surveying tool. This is just 'Graphical Data' and through my experience, not that accurate as direct laser measurement. But Hey! what do I know? I have only been doing this for 40-years.
