CAD-to-Point vs. Point-to-CAD + extremely efficient + high level of automation - long learning period - needs CAD interfaces - expensive + easy to understand + good CAD interfaces + cheap - limitations in handling the point clouds - needs AutoCAD • There is no competition between the two concepts!
Idea of FARO Cloud • FARO Cloud is the integration of point clouds as custom entities in the AutoCAD environment. • The point cloud will be displayed in AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT and can be evaluated with all native AutoCAD commands. • Each point (X,Y,Z) of the point cloud can be snapped with the object-snap of AutoCAD.
