In this keynote presentation, Matthew will review the workflow process DeWalt used to capture an entire 200,000 sq.ft building in just 2 days with the use of a FARO Focus3D Laser Scanner, register the entire project without the use of any scan targets using SCENE, and upload the data using a new web-based application known as Web Share Cloud. This workflow solved many of the complications in the beginning stages of this project, and will continue to help the project through its lifecycle over the next couple years.

1. Virtual Project Management

2. 1. Workflow used for Target-less Registration in Scene 5.3
2. How to adjust misplaced scans from target-less registration (Scene 5.3)
3. Workflow and experience into the new “WebShareCloud”
4. Tips & Tricks for 3D Projects
Key Notes

3. Project:Building As-built (Inside) [200,000 SqFt]
Purpose of the project:New Owner Converting Building into a New Food Processing Plant
Case Study -Details

4. 3D Laser Scanning (The Entire 200,000 SqFtArea)
Deliver a complete 3D colorized point cloud (For site visualization in Navisworks, Autodesk Recap, and AutoCAD)
Web-share Cloud Project (Ability to walk through the entire building with picture quality data, able to pull measurements, make notes, and easily share site walk through with other sub-contractors.)
Planned Workflow
THINK AHEAD!

5. Quick turn around time: 2 days to scan the entire 200,000 square foot building.
Target-less Registration (the building had many different rooms, some with equipment, small hallways, multiple levels etc.)
Quality and Resolution settings Due to a short time frame, settings were requested to be lowered so we could complete the scanning process very fast, which created challenges in point cloud data registration and panoramic viewing.
Unique Challenges

6. Unique Challenges

7. Unique Challenges
16ROOMS!

10. Faro Focus 3D, 2 field crew members, approx. 15 hours on site (including the initial job walk, photos, planning, etc.)
Using a Site Plot Plan, map out goal scan area per day, plan estimated “best route”.
Choose a starting location, begin first scan asap.
Walk through the site, map out scan locations and best route to capture all data efficiently.
Complete as many scans per day as possible in approved time frame.
At the end of each work day, Review what data was captured, and set a plan for the next day.
Field Collection Workflow

11. When scanning for Target-less Registration,
Make sure you can see similar surfaces and objects from one scan to the next.
[Replace using your targets with shapes in the environment of your site]
Add a few extra scans to ensure good overlap (Even if you turn the resolution or quality down)
Field Collection Workflow

12. Data Processing Workflow

13. Data Processing Workflow
Top View Based

14. Data Processing Workflow
Correspondence View
Ability to drag any misplaced scans into the approximate location
Rotate, align, change elevation, etc.

15. Data Processing Workflow
After rough alignment in correspondence view..
“Update Scans”

16. Data Processing Workflow
Change your scan placement mode.
USE: Cloud 2 Cloud (default)
When using Large Data sets, you can increase the subsampling to increase speed.

Scene 5.3
[3D View of Point Cloud]

19. HINT: DeWaltCorporation uses it on almost every project….

20. WEBSHARE CLOUD!
SCENE WebShareCloud
Asecure cloud-based solution for storing and sharing scanning data with different project partners.

21. WEBSHARE CLOUD!
Why has DeWaltadded WebshareCloud to its workflow ?
It’s a simple addition to the existing workflow. (Create & upload directly from your project in Scene)
It offers our clients a new deliverable.
(You may find clients that have a specific problem that WebShareCloud can help solve)
Its cost effective, secure, and well maintained.

41. 1)
Visit the site! This is critical on any large project, estimating the unknown can be risky! (and possibly expensive!)
2)Communication and a working relationship with your client is KEY!
3)Be very specific in your communication with clients, and your contract details: -Exactly what is to be scan/modeled -What level of detail –Deliverables ?
4)Workflow Planning: Who will be handling what task ? What software will you be using ? Know the answer to these questions before the project even starts!
5)Safety:All personal safety equipment is up-to-date ? Are there any specific requirements or guidelines we need to follow while working in this facility ?

42. 6)
Save & BACK-UP your work on a daily / hourly basis!.. (When software decides to crash, or technology shuts down, you will be prepared to pick up where you left off, instead of losing days, and hours of work..)
7)Predefine a rotation and translation scheme prior to project (If placing on a coordinate system is requested)
8)Integrate new tools into your workflow, that offer time savings and value to both you and your client! (Such as Scene 5.3 Cloud2Cloud Registration)
9)Last but not least.. CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Be personable! When you hand over the final deliverable, ask them to review and give feedback. (IE. How could we make our next project even more efficient and customized for you? Do you have specific likes or dislikes about our delivered service / products ?)
