The mesh looks pretty good. I’d be interested to know more about your workflow for that.
The scans can be hit and miss somtimes, I just plan my route start the scan and try go slow as possible and try not to double back on myself. Using a hand help camera mount helps.
Looks like a nice climbing gym - love seeing more engineering applications/workflows
Have you thought about investing in an ipad with Lidar. Being able to scan with and work directly in Sketchup is really helpful. It also helps with doing some of the snagging work on site a reduces the amount of site visits you might have to make. I use it for demolition projects and its becoming a really interesting work flow.
Hi Taz,
Yes i have but cant afford it at the moment, I was thinking of getting on in the next month or so as my mini6 is coming out of contract.
Do you have any examples of this application?
I unfortunately cant show you any of my examples as they are confidential but there should be plenty on the web. Another cost benefit is not having to pay for a Polycam licence as its all done with the Sketchup Pro licence. I would also factor in the cost of an apple pencil as using Sketchup on the ipad without it can be tricky.
This video should give you an idea of the features.
The video is great, thanks for sharing. It looks like an interesting workflow. Do you find the workflow with iPad useful? I haven’t explored using a tablet at all with SU
The scanning is a great feature for rapidly gathering details on a space and saves a lot of time measuring and taking lots of extra photos. and then you get to see the scan generated while you are still on site so that’s a massive bonus as you can then make tweaks and fix any snags/re-do if needed. With the apple pencil its then passable to put together some dimensions and simple modelling but its no way near as fast as working with mouse and keyboard so I take this scan data and work on it when I’m back at my desk.
I had no idea the scan option had ben added to the ipad when I first started using it. I was originally going to use polycam but its saved having to get the subscription and did the processing all in one place.
I am expecting a lot more to come with Sketchup and using the iPad as a means of collecting data. I do hope that Microsoft bring out a tablet with Lidar then hopefully the prices of these devises can come down.
Wow, amazing! Something I will be looking into.
Looks great.
DECA Steel has been used on a few projects too! @mind.sight.studios
