Challenge

Needed to accurately measure large sites quickly.

Unable to work with point cloud data natively in SolidWorks.

Solution

Veesus Point Clouds for SolidWorks plug-in..

Full range of editing features, and instant and accurate measurements.

Result

Easily able to work with a 2-mile scan of a harbour to plan new building work.

Combining as-built data with designs enabled team to gain planning permission faster.

Testimonial

“The scan had caught lots of data we didn’t need – including hundreds of birds in the harbour. With Veesus it was so easy to remove all that extraneous data, and just focus on what we needed.”

Ben Ayling, CAD Designer at EAPL
