Description
Tunnel rehabilitation projects lack a single, bulletproof workflow for comparing complex point cloud data with design corridors. Instead of chasing a one-size-fits-all solution, successful projects require selecting the right toolset for the specific job. This session explores the current state of the art in working with tunnel point cloud meshes using ReCap, Civil 3D, and Dynamo. Rather than presenting a single rigid path, we will dissect multiple methodologies, analyzing the practical pros and cons of each. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what is realistically possible right now, how to automate section creation, and how to select the optimal workflow to balance accuracy against automation scale.
Key Learnings
