What is a Hybrid Workflow?

• A hybrid workflow is using both terrestrial laser scanners and mobile mapping devices on a project site. We believe this is the next-generation of technology for the AEC community to create digital twin solutions.

What is TruePoint's Scanning Strategy?

• When utilizing this workflow, we use survey-grade Leica laser scanners to capture the building exterior and establish control points. Then, a complete site walk is performed with the NavVis VLX, quickly capturing data from infinite angles. The floor plan and path line that are generated in real-time from the NavVis VLX allow us to easily see the building layout and ensure all areas are covered with plenty of overlap.

What are the Advantages?

• Utilizing a hybrid scanning approach, we can capture accurate point clouds with greater speed. There is an exponential increase in the amount of square-footage we can scan in a single day and minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

What Types of Projects are Best for Hybrid Scanning?

• Large commercial and industrial properties
• Manufacturing facilities
• Public buildings with heavy foot traffic
• Settings with a high degree of room division such as hospitals, hotels, offices and schools
• Projects with a tight deadline where scanning must be completed quickly

What Software is Utilized with the Hybrid Approach?

• All data is uploaded and processed online with the NavVis IVION, formerly called IndoorViewer. This is a very intuitive interface that displays realistic digital twins using 360° panoramic images, point clouds and maps generated by our scanning devices. Our clients can move around digital twins of scanned spaces as if they are on site and use the interactive functionality to add, search for and route to geo-tagged information and take accurate measurements. Point cloud files can easily be downloaded and indexed with Autodesk Recap for preparation to use in Autodesk products such as Revit to create 2D plans and 3D models.

How Can We Help You?

• Our hybrid approach to laser scanning generates high-quality data with speed. The result is a digital twin for smart collaboration and decision making to avoid rework and improve efficiency in planning, engineering and operations.
