RESOURCES - TRIMBLE
TRIMBLE 3D SCANNING AND DATA ANALYSIS
  • Students will be typically be assigned one building each, depending on complexity.
  • Students will learn how to 3D Scan the exterior of the building using the Trimble TX6.
  • Students will learn how to register their point cloud in Trimble Real Works breaking the point cloud into sub clouds for ground, buildings, foliage, etc.
  • Students will export sections and elevations of their assigned building into AutoCAD
Order of Operations for Final Project
  • Register the point clouds in TRW
  • Fix any Non-Registered point clouds
  • Verify that the point cloud alignments are correct. Turn the clouds on one by one in station order and confirm that they overlap.
  • Merge projects if necessary
  • Orientation – Align X and Y (possibly elevation)
  • Move to Production.
    • Go to Edit / Scan / Limit Box Extraction
    • Adjust the Limit Box around the building you want.
    • Use “ Sampling by Step” at “1”
  • Edit / Scan / Limit Box Extraction
  • Move onto Segmentation and break the point cloud into different, smaller clouds (walls, roof, junk, etc.)
  • Shift project to DWG Coordinates
  • Sampling. Select all point clouds one at a time and sample down to a smaller point cloud density. We will use these point clouds to export out as Recap files for AutoCAD.
Trimble Realworks (TRW) Production Mode: 3:42:01 This is based on a Youtube Production Series
