Leica CloudWorx for AutoCAD
Point Cloud Plug-in for AutoCAD
Leica CloudWorx for AutoCAD is the most efficient and popular plug-in for using as-built point cloud data – captured by laser scanners – directly in AutoCAD.
Users take advantage of the familiar AutoCAD interface and tools to shorten the learning curve for working with laser scanning data. Users can create accurate 2D and 3D as-builts, check proposed designs against existing conditions, perform critical construction and fabrication QA, and more... all directly in AutoCAD.
In the past, users often had issues manipulating point clouds when using AutoCAD point cloud plug-ins. CloudWorx overcomes this with its powerful TruSpace viewing window. This intuitive and panoramic viewing window allows users to better "see" what the point cloud represents and acts as a super-control for managing point cloud visualization in AutoCAD with unprecedented speed.
Features and Benefits
- Optional data source LGS File, Cyclone, JetStream, or ReCap
- Work in AutoCAD with point clouds from any laser scanner or 3D sensor that creates point clouds
- Eliminate the need for lengthy point cloud file format export/import processes
- Manipulate and navigate large point cloud datasets faster, including cuts, sections, and limit boxes
- The QuickSlice tool allows users to quickly slice and orient the point cloud, aligning it with walls and floors
- The Auto-Fit Polyline tool enables users to quickly fit 2D lines and arcs to the point cloud with one, two, or three pick points; combine it with QuickSlice for fast and easy 2D line extraction
- Fitting for steel, flanges, pipes, and automatic 2D lines
- Catalog fitting for intelligent as-builts
- Accurate splicing and clash checking
- Floor flatness and leveling tool with automatic report generation according to ASTM 1155 standard
- Orthoimage tool for creating GeoTIFF, PNG, JPEG, GIF, and BMP images with options to open them directly in AutoCAD
- Automatic UCS orientation to point clouds
- SmartPicks and Points on Grid tools
- TruSpace panoramic viewer with background images for intuitive interaction with the point cloud and its guidance in the application’s view panel
- Saved project environment setup
- Available in English, German, Japanese, and other languages
- TruSpace Layers: RGB, HDR, grayscale intensity, tone intensity, IR with temperature data
- Full support for Leica Geosystems' universal digital reality files (LGS), including: Layers, GeoTags, Assets, and more.
- Auto Linework Assist: accelerates the deliverable creation process by assisting users in the deliverable creation process.
- Localized in the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Russian, and Korean.
JetStream Experience
Leica Geosystems' JetStream point cloud engine provides users with an easy means to collaborate on projects. By centralizing project data on a JetStream server, up to 10 users can simultaneously connect to any database via CloudWorx to create subsequent deliverables without "regeneration" delays, even when working with billions of points. JetStream delivers unmatched productivity with higher fidelity in final results when working with point clouds in a CAD environment than competing formats. Users can also leverage JetStream’s speed and clarity without the server by working with LGS files in CloudWorx instead of a Cyclone project. The JetStream Experience in CloudWorx for Revit demonstrates this time-saving and cost-reduction benefits directly in your current CloudWorx installation. Users can easily download and run the Experience by following the prompts in the software after clicking on the new JetStream Experience button on the ribbon menu.
