In today’s fast-paced construction environment, transforming raw 3D scan data into accurate digital deliverables is essential.
Trimble RealWorks is purpose-built point cloud processing software that empowers reality capture specialists, BIM modelers and VDC managers to go from scan to actionable model with precision and flexibility.
As the 3D scanning backbone for many of the industry’s top firms, RealWorks combines powerful registration and seamless integrations to support every phase of your workflow.
BuildingPoint SouthEast is your trusted Trimble technology partner for 3D scanning solutions and construction software. We’re dedicated to helping you use cutting-edge tools to accelerate deliverables and improve collaboration.
Rapid and Reliable Point Cloud Registration
Successful reality capture always begins with accurate registration, the process of combining multiple individual scans into one coherent dataset. Trimble RealWorks offers registration tools that handle virtually any project type:
- Automated registrations with plane-based (targetless) and target-based workflows to streamline accurate alignment.
- Cloud-to-cloud and geo-referencing workflows to align scan data using project coordinate systems for accuracy
- Intuitive refinement tools to fine-tune alignment and generate composite point clouds.
Powerful Modeling Tools for Scan-to-BIM Deliverables
Trimble RealWorks does more than show your data. It creates value from it. You can convert point clouds into accurate, CAD and BIM-ready deliverables:
- Create CAD-compliant meshes and surfaces directly from dense scan data.
- Use semi-automated routines to extract pipe geometry to help build accurate MEP models.
- Segment and model architectural and structural elements to support detailed design workflows.
Scan-to-BIM software bridges the gap between reality capture and design intent, enabling quality BIM models that integrate with your preferred platforms. Once modeled, export directly to tools like Tekla Structures, SketchUp Pro, Revit, AutoCAD and Navisworks for further detailing, clash detection and construction planning.
Analysis, QA/QC and Visualization Tools
Understanding your data is as important as capturing it. Trimble RealWorks gives you a complete suite of analysis and inspection capabilities in the same environment where you process and model your scans:
- Extract cross-sections, contours, volumes and mesh surfaces for documentation and verification.
- Perform surface comparisons and dimensional analysis to support QA/QC workflows and as-built reporting.
- Visualize complex environments with rich 3D rendering and measurement tools that support decision-making across disciplines.
Seamless Software Integrations
To maximize productivity and ensure smooth data handoffs, RealWorks integrates with the industry’s leading design and BIM platforms:
- Export native or intermediary formats for Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD and Navisworks.
- Sync models with Tekla and SketchUp Pro for structural and architectural workflows.
- Use exported ReCap files to accelerate workflows in multiple environments.
This flexibility reduces trouble between scanning, modeling and BIM authoring, helping teams stay aligned from capture through construction.
