Create realistic renders of “as-built” Environments
PointFuse helps you save time and money on your reality capture projects.
Ultimate accuracy means no reworks or material waste, saving valuable time and resources
A 100x reduction in file size means files can be manipulated and sent quickly
Models are up to 70% quicker to create than traditional manual modelling
Bring your models to life with Archicad’s built-in palette of architectural visualization software. Our VR and rendering tools were designed to help anyone understand and navigate the BIM model. Understanding the model means decisions and changes can be made in the early design phases, saving time, money and aggravation on the building site. In a landmark accomplishment, the Asite CDE has become one of the world’s first to achieve the new BSI Kitemark for BIM software. The Asite Common Data Environment (CDE) is one of the first organisations globally to achieve the BSI Kitemark for BIM software by BSI (British Standard Institution). Apr 24, 2019 According to the NBS National BIM Report 2018, Revit is the most overwhelmingly popular BIM software developer by participants producing drawings or models: Cost of BIM Software. BIM software is typically priced on a user-based subscription model. A popular solution like Revit starts at $173.19/month for a 3-year subscription. Tekla Structures, the most advanced structural BIM software, lets you create, combine, manage and share multi-material 3D models packed with valuable construction information. You can use Tekla Structures throughout the project, from buildings and infrastructure conceptual planning to fabrication, construction and maintenance, for design. BIM Uses Definitions. This appendix defines the unique task or procedure on a project which can benefit from the application and integration of BIM into that process. To create a common language, the New Zealand BIM Handbook lists these as “BIM Uses”. There are 21 separate Uses that have been identified, here their definitions are outlined.

Pointfuse powered by jetstream
Also available is PointFuse Powered by JetStream – a product developed in partnership with Leica Geosystems for users of Leica’s 3D laser scanning technology who wish to leverage Leica’s JetStream ecosystem. Annual subscriptions are available for both the Standard and Pro versions. The key difference is that PointFuse powered by JetStream works with LGS files. This means you can instantly view and use scanned data, without having to import it.
Pointfuse in action
Want to understand more about how PointFuse has been used across three key AEC workflows? Click on a video below and our Technical Specialist, Mike, will provide an overview of PointFuse in action and demonstrate the value it has delivered.
Digital Construction
Quickly classify and compare as-built objects with the design, and run clash detection, reducing the number of false clashes being flagged.
Space Management
Automatically convert classified walls, windows, doors and floors into ‘family’ groups, for use with popular downstream BIM and FM software.
Visualization
Convert reality capture data into 3D mesh models optimised for virtual design workflows. Mesh models can be edited to remove noise such as people and furniture.
