Laser scanning software Point-Cab
Top views, sectional views and other views in ArchiCAD
For years, ArchiCAD from GRAPHISOFT has been an intelligent and efficient CAD software for both architects and engineers to work hand in hand and share resources and information about buildings and structures. Further information about ArchiCAD may be obtained on the GRAPHISOFT website.
Building information for redevelopment of existing buildings and the BIM (Building Information Modeling)
The redevelopment of existing buildings and sites is going to increase on account of the foreseeable demographic change in Germany and in the EU. It has always been a necessary condition for engineers to acquire detailed information about the building’s structure in a cost-efficient manner to perform architectural tasks efficiently. The BIM (Building Information Modeling), which is going to expand more and more traditional architectural phases, is very demanding when it comes to a complete documentation of buildings. BIM includes gathering geometric information about the building and creating a virtual model of its structure with additional information, such as volumes and the number of pieces involved. Laser scanning is the most efficient and accurate method to acquire information about the building's structure. Information of a single room can be acquired in 2 minutes or so. Finally, Point-Cab is able to automatically transfer these information to different BIM systems (ArchiCAD, etc.).
Laser scanning allows fast, complete and reasonable surveys for ArchiCAD.
High-efficiency laser scanners, the possibility of creating images of entire objects within minutes, and a simple way of analyzing and transferring complex data to ArchiCAD represents a revolution in planning and redevelopment of buildings and structures.
Point-Cab provides real as-built plans for ArchiCAD.
An exact geometry of the building and a complete documentation of the extant structure are cornerstones for a professional and flawless planning and realization of new projects. Point-Cab is the first laser scanning software that is able to transfer laser scanning projects to ArchiCAD at the push of a button. That way, you can use state-of-the-art laser scanning technology in ArchiCAD to achieve reliable, fast and consistent results. Click here to go to the Point-Cab website.
