Reality Capture Process from Cloud Platform Using Autodesk Forge to Merge Intelligent Model

Share this class

Description

Point cloud is now a technology well known in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, including scanning and photogrammetry. With point clouds, you can save a lot of time in various use cases like digital twins, as-build comparing, or retro-engineering. Collecting data from the reality to virtual environment is always time consuming and painful. Discover in a smooth workflow how to merge point clouds on the Autodesk Forge platform with intelligent models to improve collaboration and save time.

Key Learnings

  • Learn how to capture point clouds from a standard LiDAR device (iPad).
  • Visualize point clouds in Autodesk Forge Viewer.
  • Learn how to automatically align point clouds with the intelligent model.
  • Learn about merging point clouds in a Revit file by using Autodesk Forge Design Automation.

    I studied mechanical engineering and industrial organisation. Graduated in 2012, I started to work in aeronautics on tooling and efficiency improvement. In 2016, I began Augmented Reality development with CAD models and after 6 months I joined PIRO CIE. I spent one year of research and POC developments on Augmented and Virtual Reality. Since 2018, I lead AR/VR projects and web workflows to be more flexible with data exchange. I also started to work on Autodesk Platform Services to explore another aspect of CAD and 3D manipulation outside of editors. I am actively working with Forge Dev Team and participated to 4 APS Accelerators. I am able to develop on different parts of the APS API. At AU 2022, I presented a class about point cloud integration in a construction workflow with APS.

    My name is Brian D. Nickel. I am a graduate of Montana State University’s Graduate School of Architecture. I have been an educator for three years at Gallatin College in Bozeman, Montana. I have taught remotely from Boise, Idaho for two years through Microsoft Teams. We leverage VR technology to assist remote learning with Autodesk products. I am passionate and energetic about the use of AEC Technology and educating our future emerging AEC workforce. I have attended several national conferences where I have been a speaker, advocate, and collaborator with our industry. One of my core design principles is a belief that design can only have an impact through immense collaboration with the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. The industry can be more successful by working through the design together and breaking free from individual silos. I have completed my NCARB Architectural Experience Program Requirements and beginning to study for licensure. A quote that has defined my career path and that I reflect on every day from Jack Smith, FAIA, my thesis advisor at Montana State University’s Graduate School of Architecture, “Don’t become a tool to the tool.”
