FARO Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO), the world\u2019s most trusted source for 3D measurement, imaging, and realization technology, announced the release of the newly designed PointSense for Autodesk\u2019s Revit\u00ae building design software. PointSense introduces breakthrough functionality to significantly improve the evaluation and conversion of point cloud data to Building Information Modeling (BIM).
\nBIM has become a standard in the planning, building and management of new facilities and Autodesk Revit\u00ae is one of the most established BIM programs for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. FARO\u2019s latest software release accelerates and simplifies the analysis and design of laser scan data directly in Autodesk Revit\u00ae.
\n\u201cPointSense is FARO\u2019s first software release following our recent acquisition of kubit\u2122 and upholds FARO\u2019s strategy to be a leader in the AEC market,\u201d stated Jay Freeland, FARO\u2019s President and CEO. \u201cAs BIM continues to be an established requirement in the construction industry, we recognize the need to provide customers with a complete field-to-finish solution. PointSense enhances the architectural design process by simplifying the extraction of BIM models to point clouds. This is merely the beginning of FARO\u2019s efforts to greatly enhance scan-to-BIM workflows.\u201d
\nPointSense users will experience additional functionality compared to traditional native Autodesk Revit\u00ae tools previously available in the market. Some of the new features include: extraction and alignment of architectural walls, creation of Revit\u00ae family types such as doors, windows, beams, construction lines and ground models, real 3D snap-to-point clouds, plane detection and scaled ortho-image generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
