Intelligent Plant Design from Laser Scan Data in AutoCAD

Stemming from kubit’s classic PointCloud functionality comes PointSense Plant, the first module from the kubit PointSense family and the first industry specific product for working with laser scan data in AutoCAD. PointSense Plant provides powerful tools for users needing to analyze, document and model point cloud data in industrial facility settings.

Intelligent Plant design from laser scan data in AutoCAD

kubit PointCloud utilizes the latest Autodesk PCG engine, capable of handling more than two billion points in a DWG. Now users involved in industrial facility design can use enormous data sets efficiently in CAD, utilize kubit tools for pattern recognizing assets from the cloud and move directly into their familiar AutoCAD based piping design programs (Plant 3D, MEP, CADWorx, AutoPlant, etc.). In addition, kubit PointCloud’s classic tools for modeling, managing and manipulating data sets are embedded in PointSense Plant.

A More Attractive Cloud:

The new “Smart Section” feature allows users to create a more visually appealing cloud from the native AutoCAD PCG file. This not only makes work easier on the eyes but improves point filtering and selection so that the correct points are clicked instead of a “point behind a point” situation.

Walk through a Pipe Run:

Automation and pattern recognition is essential for efficient use of point cloud data but too much automation can lead to costly errors. kubit’s new “Walk the Run” tool guides a user through a run, pattern recognizing and suggesting insertion points for pipes, elbows, tees and inline fittings based on what is in the user’s custom catalog. This semi-automatic approach keeps the user in control of the modeling process to ensure accuracy the first time through a run.

Intelligent Centerlines:

After routing a pipe run the user is left with native AutoCAD solids and/or the option to export an intelligent centerline. A native AutoCAD 3D polyline is derived with correct starting and endpoints for each pipe, elbow and fitting along a run. These items are also tagged with text for reference. The user can now use this routing line in combination with their intelligent piping packages.

Flexible Piping Catalogs:

The kubit team will provide the majority of standard catalogs needed for piping jobs in multiple industries (Plant, MEP, Food Processing, etc.). In case a fitting doesn’t exist, the user can create custom patterns for their library. The software then learns to read this pattern within a run. This is excellent for custom built fittings

Advantages:

• Auto recognize pipes, elbows, flanges, valves, reducers, tees and more
• Locate accurate tie in points for all objects
• Use provided piping catalogs or create your own fittings for pattern recognition
• Export intelligent centerlines for use with piping design packages
• Accurate fitting insertion points and tagged elements along the centerline
• Best fit all objects to the point cloud data
• Export standard AutoCAD solids
• Adjust pipe diameter for insulated runs
• AutoCAD from start to finish: Avoid expensive 3rd party modeling software and work within your familiar AutoCAD environment
• Tagging assets for inventory/ asset management
• Clash detection between cloud data and solids
• Auto-link multiple pipe runs into one larger run
• Access to classic kubit PointCloud Pro tools
