Introduction - Getting Started on a Brownfield Project

00:01

RUSTY BELCHER: Welcome to getting

00:02

started on a Brownfield project with the factory design

00:05

utilities.

00:06

I am Rusty Belcher.

00:08

Today, we're going to be using the Autodesk factory design

00:11

utilities and a laser scan point cloud to create a new work cell

00:15

layout in an existing building or space.

00:18

More specifically, we will review the various methods

00:21

of verifying the conditions of the existing space.

00:24

We will also explore the possibility

00:26

of capturing the existing conditions with the laser scan

00:29

point cloud.

00:31

Then we'll incorporate that point cloud

00:32

into our digital factory layout, making

00:35

sure our new design fits perfectly

00:37

into the existing space.

00:39

Reality capture techniques are now

00:41

commonplace in many aspects of layout design.

00:44

If you are utilizing the factory design utilities to arrange

00:47

equipment in an existing facility like a Brownfield

00:50

space, a laser scan of the new facility is almost expected.

00:55

Of course, you can manage the project with a 2D AutoCAD floor

00:58

plan, but nothing provides as accurate

01:01

a representation of an existing space as a laser scan point

01:05

cloud.

01:06

In our course, we will discuss the traditional approach

01:09

of verifying existing conditions with

01:11

traditional manual measurements or digital CAD drawings.

01:15

But we will also look at modern scanning techniques that

01:17

can be incorporated directly into the factory design utility

01:21

workflows, allowing you to produce a digital layout

01:23

model in context of the reality of the existing Brownfield

01:28

space.
