Background

TruePoint has been providing 3D laser scanning and modeling services to the AEC industry since 2011. The company has quickly become an industry leader, providing accurate data and superior service to clients.

In an effort to optimize delivery time and leverage quality control, traditional project workflows have come under scrutiny, such as time spent uploading to file sharing services, and/or copying data to hard drives. A reduction in time allows for more robust quality control and faster delivery to its clients.

TruePoint needed a cloud-based platform to expedite the delivery of laser scan data to clients and allow them to view scans from their web browsers. TruePoint has been using Cintoo Cloud since it was developed; in fact, the team helped beta test the initial platform.

”Cintoo Cloud is the best platform we have seen that allows clients to view the actual data streaming online. We can upload data, and clients are able to view it in minutes. It is an intuitive and easy-to-learn platform with tools to invite users, create team members and set access rights,” explains Aaron.

The biggest benefits for the team are:

• The ability to view scans with web browsers on mobile devices and computers (Windows, Linux, and Mac).
• Ability to share raw scan data or Autodesk Recap projects.
• Organizing a hierarchy of scans into groups known as Work Zones. This allows faster streaming of specific scans.
• Importing models, which can be laid over the laser scan data, and interacting with Autodesk BIM 360.
• Comparative tools to colorize differences in models and as-builts.
• Ability to collaborate with annotations and dimensions.
• Allow a change in coordinate systems and distribution to subconsultants.
