Framingham, MA – Rand Worldwide announced that its IMAGINiT Technologies division launched its Scan to BIM™ software for the Autodesk® Revit® platform.
Purpose built for 3D laser scanning service providers and architecture, engineering and construction firms, Scan to BIM radically improves workflow and increases building information modeling (BIM) accuracy while saving time for projects adapting existing structures for new uses.
Engineered by the same software developers and industry experts who created Avatech Utilities for Revit, Scan to BIM is designed specifically for the Autodesk Revit 2011 platform (Architecture, Structure and MEP) with specific capabilities for architects and mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers.
For the first time, Scan to BIM allows Autodesk Revit users to import and work with critical data from 3D scanners using point cloud industry standard formats. Scan to BIM enables users to:
* Create native Revit elements, including walls, windows and pipes, directly from a point cloud;
* Import laser-scanned point clouds directly into Revit, eliminating the laborious steps associated with bringing useful, clean point clouds into Revit;
* Visualize the point cloud inside Revit based on color, intensity or elevation;
* Analyze discrepancies by comparing the Revit model against the point cloud;
* Import industry standard file formats, and more.
