Seamless Integration of 3D Scanner Data with Autodesk 2018
Design Tools
LAKE MARY, Fla., April 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
FARO® (NASDAQ:FARO), the world's most trusted
source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions for factory
metrology, construction BIM/CIM, product design, public safety
forensics, and 3D solutions, announces the availability of the FARO
PointSense 18.0 software suite (http://us.faro3dsoftware.com). This
robust software platform evolution delivers seamless integration
into the latest 2018 AutoCAD® and Revit®
design tools, a better user experience, improved software handling
and enhanced efficiency in processing software data.
The suite includes:
- PointSense basic/Pro for AutoCAD®
- PointSense Building for AutoCAD®
- PointSense Heritage for AutoCAD®
- PointSense Plant for AutoCAD®
- PointSense for Revit®
The one stop bundle and compatibility across the broad range of
Autodesk architecture, engineering, construction and surveying
products makes this the most cost effective solution of its kind
currently available.
Seamless Integration and Enhanced User
Experience
PointSense 18.0 resets the bar for "ready to go".
It includes the same high value, beneficial use features and
functionality with which savvy AutoCAD® and
Revit® users are already familiar. The addition of a
new, step by step guidance screen assures that even less familiar
users can get up to speed quickly and optimize their
workflow.
Improved Confidence in Accuracy
PointSense 18.0 for
Revit® is the first software platform to incorporate
Levels of Accuracy as defined USBID (U.S. Institute
of Building Documentation) standards. This enhanced analysis tool
enables users to more confidently validate the accuracy of the
as-built model compared to the relevant point cloud, i.e. the set
of data points acquired by a 3D laser scanner.
Workflow Enhancement
The improvement in scan
navigation functionality was driven by direct user feedback,
supports greater efficiency and assures that the user is able to
get to a result faster than ever before. With just a double click,
users can move from one scan perspective to another inside a given
point cloud.
"We continue to push forward in our commitment to creating even
more value for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction
market segments," states Andreas
Gerster, Vice President Global Construction BIM-CIM business
unit. "PointSense 18.0, used in combination with 3D laser scanners
such as the industry leading FARO Focus3D is a
direct reflection of this commitment, as it delivers a powerful new
set of easy to use software solutions in a single package. We are
both excited and validated about the unique value that PointSense
18.0 delivers not only to AutoCAD® and Revit®
users in general, but also as a tightly integrated, high
performance bundle for FARO Focus3D Scanner users."
PointSense 18.0 is available for ordering today.
