PointSense for AutoCAD 17.5 Color-by-deviation
PointSense 17.5 for AutoCAD provides more customized tools for the extraction of building components, such as walls, windows and doors. After extracting the building components, architects benefit from new alignment tools that dramatically speed up the process of delivering 2D plans from 3D point clouds.
PointSense for Revit 17.5 MEP pipe run modeling
In addition to these new features for architects, industrial facility designers also benefit from new functions for creating 3D plant models. One of the several new features is an automated cylinder extraction tool, which reduces time and simplifies 3D modeling of piping from point clouds.
