4 This webinar will prove that native AutoCAD point clouds can be efficiently used to extract typically needed plant deliverables.

5 At the end of this session you will Understand the challenges and benefits of using laser scanning in real world projects Gain in-depth knowledge of how to get started with AutoCAD point clouds Learn about deriving piping and structural design deliverables as well as performing equipment analysis Realize that industrial facility designers are doing this now and so can you

6 Case Study: Extracting piping and existing tie-in points Eric Kirsch, Jacobs Engineering Case Study: Performing equipment analysis on tanks Aaron hunt, TruePoint Scanning, LLC Demonstration: Piping, tie-ins, equipment & structural extraction John Bunn, kubit USA, Inc.

7 Eric Kirsch, Piping Design Supervisor Jacobs Engineering (Costa Mesa, CA) Previous: Piping Design Supervisor, Marmac Field Services (24 years) AutoCAD (25 years) Navisworks CADWorx, Plant 3D

8 2008: Exposed to laser scanning 3 rd party firm scanned and created 3D models Competition began offering scan services directly Limited modeling and tie-ins rather than full model 2010: Investigated software solutions Began using AutoCAD 2010 with kubit PointSense Plant Creating as-built models, tie-ins, structural to CADWorx 2012: Company purchased scanner Completely independent workflow Reduced overhead costs

9 Bottlenecks Older AutoCAD versions; limited point cloud capabilities Limited PointSense knowledge/users Limited Storage space; multiple scan formats Recent Upgrades AutoCAD 2015 (Plant 3D) ease of use for new scan users Improved visual quality and management of data

10 Demonstrate the work flow for locating existing tie-ins for the replacement of suction and discharge piping

11 More water volume required from existing tank Replace existing suction & discharge piping to/from existing pumps Install new 30 nozzle on existing tank Pre-fabricate design in shop Install within 24 hour shut-in time

12 Scan Area Faro Focus 3D 22 scans, 2 man crew, one day Survey crew to attach real world coordinates, one day

13 Existing Receiving Tank 4 Existing Booster Pumps

14 Register scan data (Faro Scene) Index Faro files to AutoCAD 2013 (PCG format) Import Faro files to kubit VirtuSurv

15 Begin identifying tiein points and interferences Using PointSense Plant

18 New 30 Nozzle New 30 Nozzle

19 New 30 Suction Piping New 30 Tiein Flange

20 New 30 Suction Tie-In

24 30 Tie- In Flange

25 Tie-In Points

36 Unexpected revisions /add-ons Integrating multiple new scans Tight scheduling requirements

37 Completion 10 hours ahead of schedule The project has eliminated pump cavitation Approx. $500,000 saved in just production

38 Case Study: Extracting piping and existing tie-in points Eric Kirsch, Jacobs Engineering Case Study: Performing equipment analysis on tanks Aaron hunt, TruePoint Scanning, LLC Demonstration: Piping, tie-ins, equipment & structural extraction John Bunn, kubit USA, Inc.

39 Aaron Hunt, Technical Manager TruePoint Laser Scanning, LLC Headquarter in Toledo, Ohio A laser scan service provider BIM Services Provider AutoCAD Experience (20+ years)

40 Began working with point clouds 2012 Experience with Leica scanner & Software Leica C10, P20 Cyclone for registration AutoCAD point clouds (2013) kubit assist with creating deliverables

41 AutoCAD Poor viewing quality Point Cloud size sacrifices scan quality Difficult to model in 3D AutoCAD New point cloud engine Improved viewing quality Much better scan management Kubit now a better assistant in 3D modeling/analysis

42 AutoCAD 2012 ISD cloud AutoCAD 2015 RCS cloud

43 AutoCAD 2012 ISD up-close AutoCAD 2015 RCS up-close

44 Evaluating tank volumes and deformation in AutoCAD

45 Document tank surface dimensions Contour tank Floor Perform varying volume calculations per elevation Measure wall contours and deformation One field day to collect data

46 Collected Scan data Registered data (Cyclone) Isolated tank interior (3 scans) Imported PTS scan to Autodesk ReCap Converted to RCS format for AutoCAD Insert point cloud in AutoCAD Civil 3D Perform tank analysis Using PointSense Plant

56 Field Time Initial Modeling with CAD Labor intense Reporting Volume calcs, drawings

57 Quick data collection Highly accurate volume calculation Provide completely new deliverables to client Fabrication and Design savings

60 Point cloud to intelligent model Piping Structural Extracting tie-in points Tank & planar analysis

61 All positions connected in organized coordinate system 2 Attach RCP in AutoCAD 3 Import to Autodesk ReCap (RCS per scan position, RCP project file) 1 Scan in field Register in manufacturer s software or ReCap Pro 5 4

62 Using pattern recognition algorithms to extract geometry Points become solid model Connect geometry to standard piping catalogs Cylinders becomes pipe Torus equals elbow Creates intelligent objects rather than primitive shapes Generate standard reports Asset management, isometrics, bill of materials

63 Pattern recognition from points to shapes AISC, CISC, DIN Standards SDNF exports for structural design package

64 Converting as-built conditions to meet design standards Pipe centerlines coaxial Creating structural grid

65 Ground Bare earth Containment area Walls Deformation Plumbness Tanks Volumes Surface analysis

66 Improvements coming soon! First generation in product now Currently being improved Additional detection options More intuitive catalog integration More output options
