This webinar will prove that native AutoCAD point clouds can be efficiently used to extract typically needed plant deliverables.
At the end of this session you will… • Understand the challenges and benefits of using laser
scanning in real world projects
• Gain in-depth knowledge of how to get started with AutoCAD point clouds
• Learn about deriving piping and structural design deliverables as well as performing equipment analysis
• Realize that industrial facility designers are doing this now and so can you

Eric Kirsch, Piping Design Supervisor • Jacobs Engineering (Costa Mesa, CA)
• Previous: Piping Design Supervisor,
– Marmac Field Services (24 years)
– AutoCAD (25 years) – Navisworks – CADWorx, Plant 3D
• 2008: Exposed to laser scanning – 3rd party firm scanned and created 3D models – Competition began offering scan services directly – Limited modeling and tie-ins rather than full model
• 2010: Investigated software solutions
– Began using AutoCAD 2010 with kubit PointSense Plant – Creating as-built models, tie-ins, structural to CADWorx
• 2012: Company purchased scanner
– Completely independent workflow – Reduced overhead costs
• Bottlenecks – Older AutoCAD versions; limited point cloud
capabilities – Limited PointSense knowledge/users – Limited Storage space; multiple scan formats
• Recent Upgrades
– AutoCAD 2015 (Plant 3D) ease of use for new scan users
– Improved visual quality and management of data
Demonstrate the work flow for locating existing tie-ins for the replacement of suction and discharge piping
• More water volume required from existing tank
• Replace existing suction & discharge piping to/from existing pumps
• Install new 30” nozzle on existing tank
• Pre-fabricate design in shop
• Install within 24 hour shut-in time
• Scan Area – Faro Focus 3D – 22 scans, 2 man
crew, one day – Survey crew to
attach real world coordinates, one day
4 Existing Booster Pumps
Existing Receiving Tank
• Register scan data (Faro Scene)
• Index Faro files to AutoCAD 2013 (PCG format)
• Import Faro files to kubit VirtuSurv
• Begin identifying tie-in points and interferences
• Using PointSense Plant

Tie-In Points
• Unexpected revisions /add-ons
• Integrating multiple new scans
• Tight scheduling requirements
• Completion 10 hours ahead of schedule
• The project has eliminated pump cavitation
• Approx. $500,000 saved in just production

Aaron Hunt, Technical Manager • TruePoint Laser Scanning, LLC
– Headquarter in Toledo, Ohio – A laser scan service provider – BIM Services Provider
• AutoCAD Experience (20+ years)
www.truepointscanning.com
• Began working with point clouds 2012
• Experience with Leica scanner & Software – Leica C10, P20 – Cyclone for registration – AutoCAD point clouds (2013) – kubit assist with creating
deliverables
• AutoCAD 2012-2013 – Poor viewing quality – Point Cloud size sacrifices scan quality – Difficult to model in 3D
• AutoCAD 2014-2015
– New point cloud engine – Improved viewing quality – Much better scan management – Kubit now a better assistant in 3D modeling/analysis

Evaluating tank volumes and deformation in AutoCAD
• Document tank surface dimensions • Contour tank Floor • Perform varying volume calculations per
elevation • Measure wall contours and deformation • One field day to collect data
• Collected Scan data – Registered data (Cyclone) – Isolated tank interior (3 scans)
• Imported PTS scan to Autodesk ReCap – Converted to RCS format for AutoCAD – Insert point cloud in AutoCAD Civil 3D
• Perform tank analysis
– Using PointSense Plant
• Field Time • Initial Modeling with CAD – Labor
intense • Reporting – Volume calcs, drawings
• Quick data collection • Highly accurate volume calculation • Provide completely new deliverables
to client • Fabrication and Design savings

• Using pattern recognition algorithms to extract geometry
– Points become solid model
• Connect geometry to standard piping catalogs
– Cylinders becomes pipe – Torus equals elbow
• Creates intelligent objects rather than
primitive shapes – Generate standard reports – Asset management, isometrics, bill of materials
• Pattern recognition from points to shapes
• AISC, CISC, DIN Standards
• SDNF exports for structural design package
• Converting as-built conditions to meet design standards – Pipe centerlines coaxial – Creating structural grid
• Ground – Bare earth – Containment area
• Walls – Deformation – Plumbness
• Tanks – Volumes – Surface analysis
• First generation in product now
• Currently being improved – Additional detection
options – More intuitive catalog
integration – More output options
Improvements coming soon!
