Learn how to build 2D and 3D models from laser scan data with the FARO PointSense Pro plugin for AutoCAD.
FARO PointSense plugins allows you to take scan data from a variety of sourcesâincluding laser scans and photogrammetryâand capture the as-built conditions of job sites with the highest degree of accuracy. The Pro version provides additional tools for 2D and 3D modeling in AutoCAD. In this course, you can learn how to work with FARO PointSense Pro, from configuring your project and scan data, to sectioning and slicing, to digitizing your scan. Get familiar with the drawing and modeling tools available and learn how to use VirtuSurv, the FARO software for producing realistic and intuitive views of scan data. Plus, learn how to use PointSense Pro analysis tools to look for deviations and see how your linework and models fit the point cloud.
