If you are curious about the benefits of classification, check out our new 'Why Classify?' mini-series. This one focuses on the clean-up of noise. Within a PointFuse mesh model, rather than in the point cloud, items such as people, cars and debris can be much more easily removed.

In Part 2 of our 'Why Classify?' mini-series we show how a more advanced classification can be used to create a BIM structure similar to any design data. Advanced coordination tools, such as REVIZTO, can be now used to interrogate the data, so you can focus on what's important.

We're glad that our 'Why Classify?' mini-series is hitting the mark for many. Here is #3 - we hope you enjoy it. This workflow shows a condenser and its connecting services being added to some custom layers. The mesh is then taken into @autodeskRevit to create a new design.

Embracing reality capture technology will give you the edge over your sustainability goals, not only when constructing new builds, but also when looking to improve the carbon footprint of existing stock. In this blog, CEO Steve explains more: bit.ly/3Uv8pfW

#ThowbackThursday - Today we look back on how customer IBKS took on a two-tower, 450k sq ft healthcare project where they tested an innovative NavVis VLX and PointFuse Pro workflow to deliver the biggest scan-to-BIM project they had undertaken. zurl.co/TYLj

This week's 'Why Classify?' focuses on #clashdetection. Coordinating against #realitycapture data in a renovation helps ensure new designs fit, preventing costly reworks. But, doing this against a #pointcloud isn't easy. Creating a set of clashable layers in PointFuse can help.

As a software company in Construction we're passionate about how tech can solve problems facing the industry and society. The biggest barrier is how to attract a new generation and fill the skills gap. This piece in Building News gives a great overview: bit.ly/3ulqmUX

Our final 'Why Classify?' is about creating objects. Modeling complex objects, such as big MEP fittings, is time-consuming, requiring skill and experience. Such objects are easy to select from PointFuse, meaning that they can be quickly exported as objects into onward workflows.

How do you manage importing large scale meshes into Autodesk Revit? This week's #ThowbackThursday reminds us how to use the out of the box collaboration tools in Revit to help manage large scale mesh projects. View the full tutuorial here: youtube.com/watch?v=uApvZ2…

If you've ever wondered how best to incorporate #pointclouds into your #BIM coordination efforts, this presentation from Noah Kuester Miron Construction is a great one to watch. It was recorded during his recent presentation at Autodesk University. autode.sk/41jnbJN

We’re all aware that our industry accounts for 37% of energy-related CO2 emissions but what are we doing about it? The answer, as most of us now recognize, lies in a digital-first strategy. This article by World Economic Forum is a great little reminder. bit.ly/48IZf5P

Adding meshes into Navisworks has huge benefits. This clip shows how to ensure your mesh model looks exactly like reality, a powerful tool for sharing existing conditions with others who may ordinarily struggle viewing point clouds. Full tutorial here: zurl.co/NVH5

The evolution from CAD to BIM signifies a transformative period in construction technology. This article in Construction Dive gives a really nice overview of the journey we've taken from those early days of CAD to the latest technolgies. bit.ly/3S75uZZ

Find out why PointFuse was so integral to Fund Groep B.V: bit.ly/404rTuj "Without PointFuse none of this would be possible. By converting the point cloud into a mesh model, we can create an IFC file, allowing the client to run clash detection in Solibri"

As the AEC industry continues to embrace #DigitalTransformation, one of the biggest challenges it faces is finding and upskilling workers with expertise in these emerging technologies. This article is a healthy reminder of the key areas to focus on. bit.ly/3ORBVe2

How do you manage importing large-scale meshes into Autodesk Revit? You can use the out-of-the-box collaboration tools in Revit to help manage large-scale mesh projects. Using worksets can keep the files running smoothly, and prevent you getting bogged down in too much data.
