Middle of the article is information on our design and reality capture team. We have a huge amount of support internally for laser scanning, and reality capture in general - which is awesome!
"At WeWork, Fano leads a 160-person “physical products” team that includes a development group and a design and construction group that is a composite of architecture, interior design, engineering, construction, integration, logistics, and art and graphics teams. The design process starts once the real estate team has signed a lease. Then the in-house reality capture team uses a $120,000 3-D laser scanner to create a highly detailed digital model of each floor. “If I would scan this room right now it would catch this little bit,” Fano says, pointing to a light fixture in the conference room where we’re talking. This level of detail is critical, partly because WeWork favors older buildings with a bit of a patina. The floors might be uneven, the walls crooked, the plumbing due for an upgrade. “These old buildings might have drawings, but they might be off by a foot or two,” Fano says. “If that happens, a desk might not fit, and that changes our performance; we make revenue projections on that.”"
Hope to share more as I can...

Re: WeWork Article
A great article, that I sent to my architect friends that have not embraced scanning.

Re: WeWork Article
I hope the insane coding and Dynamo use that Case was known for is continuing at WeWork.
Judging by the article, it sure seems so!
Nice piece.

Definitely. When we are looking for architect/engineering consultants on projects, we are looking for those who can use a point cloud. It is that important to us.dhirota wrote:A great article, that I sent to my architect friends that have not embraced scanning.
