Hi all Where I’m making my internship in architecture two people have spent perhaps a full week in total measuring an old office building to get proper drawings of it as it is now before design any additions/modifications to it. The building has numerous staircases, a tower, an air raid shelter fro…

I’ve just found Undet which seams to be a big step in the right direction http://www.undet.com/software/for-sketchup-v1/ . Does anyone have any experience in using it? Where do I start? What kind of hardware is needed for this and is it possible to rent it? As an intern I can’t just go out and spend…

If I do not get it wrong, you’re talking about something like that. [image] You can now scan and measure your entire home with an iPad attachment Augmented reality startup Occipital first burst on the scene in 2013 with a successful Kickstarter campaign for the Structure Sensor — a strip…

Measured drawings are tedious to prepare but the manual process records more that just the dimensions of the space. A pointscan of a space may give you too much detail but not enough knowledge. When I used to measure up existing buildings I was also :- 1] Rationalising [rounding] dimensions to a…

I never tried this, but it looks interesting: [Trimble Scan Explorer Extension for SketchUp™ Pro] This also is interesting: [Trimble Vision Export and Modelling in SketchUp]

gsharp is absolutely correct…there’s no major shortcut. ■■■■ data in = ■■■■ data out. Its easy for a machine to gather too much data …for example it collects the position of every fibre on a rug, but can’t recognize that the rug is a different object to the carpet it is placed on. Were you using …

Occipital is actually made for small homes, not optimized for large buildings. We used the Matterport 3D camera. Handles much larger datasets for commercial building scans. There is also the Leica total stations that output rcp files. However we outsourced this service as the scanners cost a Ton. Th…

[image] Structure, canvas and SketchUp Extensions Anybody had any experience using the structure sensor and sketchup . https://canvas.io If this works the way it’s portrayed then it sounds amazing - they do a scan to cad service - delivers back a .skp. This would massivel…

Thanks all! Automatic architectural survey was probably not the right title for the post. I know a man made drawing, whether it is a technical drawing or a piece of art, is very different from o photography in the sense that you chose exactly what to include and what to leave out. The final drawing…

Regarding your problems with rounding errors, one of the basic principles of surveying is that you survey from the “whole to the part”. First establish the extent of the building, say by measuring all the external walls, when you plot this shape, you should end up very close to your first point if a…

Hi Eneroth I’m an architect. Most of my work is extensions to houses. I use a Leica D110. I’m considering an S910, it has the ability to measure several points from a single location and export them as a .dxf - which I can then import to SketchUp and join the points. The BLK360 and 3D Disto wil…
