FARO® As-Built Software Suite
Redesign of a building for repurpose, enhancement or maintenance requires on-demand, accurate and complete information of the as-built site to ensure your ideas will work. Failure in design results in cost overruns, unnecessary rework and diminished quality. The FARO As-Built Software Suite ensures architects and engineers efficiently create building designs based on precise as-built data that’s fully compatible with their CAD and BIM systems.
As-Built reduces the time for information extraction from point cloud data and gets the job done right, so you and your customers can tackle the next big project. The latest update to FARO As-Built Software Suite bundles As-Built Modeler, As-Built for AutoCAD and As-Built for Revit into one suite, purchasable via subscription. This ensures that you will have the most up-to-date software, on-demand purchase options and future proof software access via your digital license(es).
Ensure Better Deliverables
Create your design based on accurate, complete and anytime-available as-built data in order to ensure that your design will work. Validate your design by virtual overlay with the as-built site to run clearance checks and clash detection.
Use with Existing Software
Use as-built data directly with your existing CAD and BIM systems. Proven data exchange interfaces and dedicated plug-ins for your design systems ensure highest model compatibility. As-Built’s user-guided interface reduces training to a minimum.
Ensure Return on Investment
As-Built™ maximizes productivity, saving time and effort by preventing multiple visits to construction sites, and eliminates surprises in the construction process. Having the site accessible on your PC means it can be used on future project updates, amortizing the cost of the initial investment. Subscription options allow you to access the solution based on your needs.
Seamless Connectivity
Use the scanning data across the FARO software ecosystem. Convert scan data into usable CAD/BIM workflows with FARO As-Built™ Software. Ensure construction quality control with BuildIT Construction Software. And reconstruct, analyze and diagram forensic scenes with FARO Zone 3D Software.
Floor Plans, Elevation Plans and Facade Plans
Creating slices and cross sections in the point cloud provides an overview of the as-built situation. Automatic tools help you extract line models and accelerate the creation of floor or elevation plans. Orthographic images of facades, which can be used in the CAD system, help to precisely plan assembly structures or preservation tasks.
BIM Extraction
Use automatic tools to extract objects and object systems for several disciplines of architecture and craft trades, plant engineering, MEP engineering, structural engineering and civil engineering. Powerful tools allow you to apply constraints to the design (e.g., keep highest accuracy while forcing the extracted model to be watertight)
The As-Built Software Suite Includes
FARO As-Built Modeler: The Most Direct Path From Reality to Any Design System
As-Built Modeler enables architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals to extract building information, such as CAD and BIM geometry, from 3D data for use in any CAD system, even if it does not support point cloud data. Users can display, manage and evaluate point cloud projects of unlimited size, independently from their source. Overall design productivity is greatly accelerated by using user-friendly tooling to apply measurements, extract highly accurate CAD models and create photorealistic renderings.
FARO As-Built for AutoCAD® Software
As-Built for AutoCAD extends the capabilities of As-Built Modeler with functionality for evaluating 3D laser scanner data directly in AutoCAD. The software extends AutoCAD tooling for point cloud management, modeling and design validation with data captured from a variety of mapping systems and laser scanners. Results of the evaluation are native AutoCAD files and object structures without any limitations in compatibility.
FARO As-Built for Autodesk® Revit®
As-Built for Revit extends the capabilities of Modeler with quick and intuitive workflows for processing 3D as-built laser scanning data directly in Revit using Revit objects and BIM models. It is the perfect complement for Revit users working with large point clouds and integrates seamlessly with the familiar Revit user interface. It features a wide range of evaluation tools for 3D laser scan data with customized commands for modeling and detailing BIM elements.
