FARO releases PointSense 18.5 offering extended BIM modeling tools in Revit®, greater quality assurance and time saving in scan data extraction and analysis

Rugby, December 5th, 2017 - FARO® (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions, announces FARO PointSense 18.5, the latest update providing enhanced tools for accelerating point cloud modeling for AEC professionals in AutoCAD® and Revit®. The new release provides users with new fitting and deformation analysis tools, improved software ergonomics and a more seamless workflow integration.

In PointSense for Revit® 18.5 users can quickly and accurately fit structural elements, such as steel beams and columns, into the point cloud for the first time. Tailored components can be automatically preselected and inserted using intelligent algorithms with full user control of the process. In addition, the transfer of scan data from SCENE 7.1 to Revit® works easier. A new SendToRevit App enables the seamless transfer of coordinates from the Scan View into PointSense for Revit®. The detour via exporting and processing in VirtuSurv is no longer necessary.

"With the enhanced fitting functionality in PointSense for Revit® the transfer of real building data into BIM models once again becomes more comprehensive for our customers" comments Andreas Gerster, Vice President, Global Construction BIM-CIM. “The SCENE to PointSense for Revit® interface organizes the workflow using FARO SCENE point cloud data even more efficiently. Whether modeling doors, walls, roofs, pipe runs or beams, the seamless transmitting of point cloud coordinates into the BIM software provides an instant value enhancement to our software users.“
New and enhanced deformation tools in PointSense for AutoCAD® permit architects and engineers to analyze geometries against real world conditions even more accurately and with customization. The improved visualization of deviations according to tolerance standards provides stakeholders a documented quality assurance report for the delivery as well as the reception of 3D models.

Plant Engineers profit by a remarkable time saving when fitting steel beams (up to three times faster as in version 18.0), 3D solids or bent pipes into the point cloud. The overall efficiency for digitizing and modeling of complex plants and factory halls gets therefore significant increased.

How mush is this software. I am thinking of buy a new machine and wondered if set serial number machines come with the same new software as we run Revit in the office as engineers.

We do building scans to some 25m high by a similar width and normally have up to some 40m off set set back available to do this as well as internal designs.

What is the best Faro machine series to buy line the S70 or the older S120 then what’s the best deal out there for some
One who doesn’t like doing too much to get the deal done on site and quickly stitch it together and place it on Revit.

Does the carriage set up for the tripod on wheels with the phone set up worth getting with the deal then and where best to I buy this hard ware and long term software access thanks cheers [email protected]
