SUPERIOR, CO, Nov 4, 2022 – ClearEdge3D, a leading provider of automated modeling and construction verification software, has introduced a new major update to its EdgeWise 3D modeling software. The company’s latest EdgeWise v5.7 enables users to automatically extract pipe elements from mobile and unified scan data to create intelligent as-built models faster and more accurately.
EdgeWise 5.7 automatic pipe extraction using data from the NavVis VLX mobile mapping solution
“Automatically extracting pipes from unstructured data was our most requested EdgeWise feature, and we are extremely excited to make it available to customers in our 5.7 release,” said Justin Dommer, EdgeWise product manager. “This new functionality will allow mobile and terrestrial scanning users to significantly speed up their pipe modeling workflows,” he added.
Enabling Advanced Scan-to-BIM Productivity
As more AEC professionals continue to integrate mobile mapping solutions into their field workflows, it became a priority for ClearEdge3D to allow users to reap the benefits of automated modeling using mobile data. Combining the high efficiency of mobile scanning with the automated pipe modeling tools in EdgeWise, users can now match their field productivity with a significantly reduced modeling workflow to deliver as-built models from mobile and unified scan data in record time.
More Flexible and Complete As-Built Modeling
The new release makes it easy for users to model elements from either terrestrial or mobile scan data using EdgeWise’s standard automated and semi-automated extraction tools. Sharing a common modeling process, users have the flexibility to switch between scan data types to get a significant head start on their modeling without learning new workflows.
Faster, More Tailored Modeling
EdgeWise 5.7 takes modeling productivity a step further by allowing users to import point clouds that have previously been cleaned or clipped to include only the scope of work that’s intended to be modeled. This translates into lighter, easier-to-manage scan data, faster processing, and more targeted modeling.
