Today's clients demand a level of accuracy that's difficult to reach with traditional measuring tools. FARO As-Built allows you to leverage scan data to extract piping, structural steel, and building details in AutoCAD. In this course, you can learn how to work with FARO As-Built, from configuring your project and scan data to sectioning and slicing and digitizing your scan. You can also get familiar with the drawing tools available and learn how to use VirtuSurv, the FARO software for producing more realistic and intuitive views of scan data. Instructor Irene Radcliffe also shows how to apply your skills to model piping, steel structures, and floor plans. Once you complete the training, you should be able to model everything from utility rooms to complex plant facilities using FARO As-Built.

• Importing ReCap data
• Creating a VirtuSurv project
• Setting point-cloud parameters
• Loading specs for pattern recognition
• Creating and saving sections and slices
• Viewing points with the Scan Navigation feature
• Fitting linework and shapes to point-cloud data
• Editing drawing data
• Analyzing drawing data
• Sending coordinates to AutoCAD with VirtuSurv
• Modeling objects with VirtuSurv macros
• Processes for piping and steel beams
• Creating floor plans with the As-Built building tools

As-Built for Autodesk Revit provides quick and intuitive workflows for processing 3D laser scan data directly into Autodesk Revit using Revit objects and BIM models. It is the perfect complement for Revit users working with large point clouds and integrates seamlessly with the familiar Revit user interface. It features a wide range of evaluation tools for 3D laser scan data with customized commands for modeling and detailing BIM elements.

The FARO As-Built for AutoCAD is the follow-up product of all PointSense for AutoCAD Products. It contains the functionality of PointSense Pro, Building, Heritage and Plant plus additional features. As-Built for AutoCAD is available in many languages.

As-Built for AutoCAD provides powerful tools to derive plans, image plans and 3D models from point clouds for as-built data collection and planning in architecture, construction and engineering. Plant components and piping systems can be automatically detected and recorded with all their parameters. Exact connection points can be determined without modeling. Analysis tools serve for quality control of the modeled object as well as for the determination and visualization of deformations. The integrated feature data capture is useful for facility management and real estate management, as well as for component lists from piping systems or for damage mapping on facades of historical buildings. Photogrammetry tools are a valuable addition to the inventory and documentation of historical buildings in particular in historic preservation and building research.

An interface to total stations complements the range of functions and enables the staking out of points from the design into reality. When measuring the total station becomes a 3D mouse. Measurements are transferred directly to AutoCAD.

SCENE 3D laser scanner software is specifically designed for the FARO Focus3D. SCENE processes and manages scanned data easily and efficiently by using automatic object recognition as well as scan registration and positioning. SCENE can also generate high-quality colorized scans very quickly, while providing the tools for automated target-less scan positioning. This point-cloud software for scanners is extremely user-friendly, from simple measuring to 3D visualization to meshing and exporting into various point cloud and CAD formats. Once SCENE has prepared the scan data, you can commence evaluation and further processing right away. Scan projects can even be published on a web server at the touch of a button. The new SCENE WebShare feature allows easy access to laser scans with a standard Internet browser.
