Description
You own a survey-grade scanner. The point clouds it produces sit on a drive, hard to share and useless to anyone who is not a surveyor. This session will show you a different path. See how a point cloud from a Leica, FARO, Trimble, or other scanner becomes a navigable Matterport digital twin, then feeds Autodesk Forma, Revit, AutoCAD, or other design software through the integration your team already uses. You keep the hardware you bought. You make its output usable for the whole project team, not just the person who captured it. Through a live workflow, you'll see Point Cloud Import turn a raw scan into a true 3D model with scan-to-BIM and scan-to-CAD output, and where that model fits against the photo-based documentation tools you may already run. You'll leave able to map your own capture-to-coordination plan and put the scan data you've already paid for to work across design, construction, and closeout.
Key Learnings
- Learn how a scanner's point cloud becomes a navigable Matterport twin that feeds your Autodesk tools.
- Learn how to compare a raw point cloud against a navigable twin with scan-to-BIM and scan-to-CAD and see which serves which job.
- Learn how to build a plan that adds Matterport to the scanner your team already owns, instead of replacing it.
