How to Use Reality Capture & Scanning for 3D Documentation

By Anna Liza Montenegro | BIM

Explore how to use reality capture and scanning to convert reality into a 3D model or 2D drawing that’s ready for further design, so you can start your design with accurate dimensions and full photo-quality context rather than a blank screen.

Learn about how LANGAN uses their surveying data for a variety of applications; from site visualizations and mass models to BIM support and forensic studies, as well as how to:

  • Use automatic registration in order to create an accurate, scalable 3D point cloud from your scan data in minutes.
  • Use ReCap to import, view, and edit point clouds to prepare them for other Autodesk products.
  • Add notes, measurements, pictures, and hyperlinks to your project, and share with collaborators

Review our webinar with Joseph Romano and Matthew Sipple from LANGAN Engineering as they discuss the use of reality capture to experience the increased speed and workflow capabilities for scan and photogrammetry projects.
