Great step by step process, Can't wait to see some more advanced process videos like the ones Daniel Overton from C.R Kennedy does.

Thanks Andy for this video and truly..you explained the Floorplan generation via scan data very nicely. It would be great if you can provide tutorial on how to generate Elevation and Sectional drawings too from scan data for the same project..thanks in advance.

Hi Andy thanks for your videos. I find them very helpful and educational. Looking forward to see more from you. I would love to see videos like e.g. checking building facade flatness or building verticality which are very popular tasks in the construction industry. I am sure laser scanning is the future for such tasks. Thanks again and greetings.

great videos, your tutorials are very useful

vedry very helpful sir i realy thnks to yu so much

This is great.. would it work with snapping to the point cloud if I flatten all the points on the slice?

I’m debating a blk360 purchase but don’t use auto cad or Revit. How would I do this with Chief Architect?

Hi Andy, useful information as always. I find using the UCS to align my projects is a far better option. This ensures the building maintains its true position and real-world coordinates (by reverting to WCS). It can be misleading, confusing, and potentially litigious by moving the scan from its real-world coordinates. Often the building is related to a topographical survey and moving it from its true location can create problems.

Thanks Andy now I am waiting my new BLK360 😍

Thanks for the tutorial! Can you export the slice to a 2d drawing so I can work on it with other programs than autocad?

Thanks Andy, this is really helpful! I would like to ask you, is there a need to have a CloudWorx license since someone can draw the floorplan in AutoCAD? What is the benefit of having CloudWorx? If I am right, CloudWorx can open only lgs files or a project from Register 360, so what if I had just the rcp file?

Great video! Could you tell me if you are using a certain Add-in for this work? Basic AutoCad?

[DynamicEarthLearning]

Can this add measurements? I need GLA

[Ryglado]

Great tech. I am scared to ask how much the laser scanner is.

[trevfindley]

This video has given me an absolute epiphany on having the full screen crosshairs! Why have I spent so many years drafting in 2d without turning this on. Baffling.

Hello,

Great video. I was interested in converting point cloud scans of pipe networks within our tunnels at our sewage treatment plants at the City of Portland.
Would this technology be a good fit for this type of work? any suggestions?

[nataliam]

Thanks for the helpful tutorial! Is it possible to draw a section or facade of a building in the same way?

[ferrowsb]

how much precision you can reach with this metod?
we have a tollerance of 2% in the measurement, it's enough?

Hey andy hope you are doing well please can you send me the rcp file of this video because i downloaded many times and the zip file is corrupted please it's very important to me thank you

[bebotayson]

Hello thanks for this video please i cant download this file can send we transfer link please
