Designing with accurate measurements

Case study

出色的设计始于设计师的灵感和准确的测量。Cadfish的领导人,Vectorworks的合伙人FalkFlöther知道这一点。Flöther曾担任CAD和BIM软件提供商Vectorworks的CAD专家经销商,并创立了自己的公司,CADfish在格拉兹,林兹和奥地利西部地区分发矢量沃工作的解决方案。

Flöther develops entire workflows for his clients providing CAD services for the architecture, landscape and event industries with integrated, complete solutions from the initial on-site measurements to the finished plan. This is wherethe Leica DISTO™ S910进入图片。

Flöther initially tried the DISTO™ S910 with the tripod adapterFTA360-S和三脚架TRI70to carry out distance measurements while working on his company building. The precision surveying laser distance metre provided the consistent workflow with multiple precise measurements in 3D he was looking for.

Flöther通常测量挑战干燥结构的挑战,并具有不同的房间高度,几个斜坡和关节的外墙。Disto™S910从根本上提高了他常见的测量任务的效率。弗洛瑟(Flöther)享有该设备的简单性;他可以从一个位置进行测量,并在无需学习手册或视频的情况下操作激光距离计。

“Once the device had been positioned centrally in the room, it was aligned horizontally and rotated three times by 90° to level the device 'mathematically'. Then, with the help of the micro-adjustable stand adapter and Leica DISTO™ Point to Point function, measuring started by pointing to the selected surfaces in the building,” explained Flöther. “Once the last point had been recorded, the 3D point cloud was saved on the device as a Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) file. Pictures of the surveyed points were automatically saved alongside, making it easy to control the quality and check the surveyed data later.”

Disto™S910连接到具有蓝牙的兼容移动应用程序,并通过WiFi导出DXF文件,可以在测量后立即开始后处理以可视化和管理数据。

Connecting the Leica DISTO™S910 to the computer and moving the DXF file straight into Vectorworks, a 2D and 3D CAD and BIM software, using the drag-and-drop function, enabled Flöther to adjust the working planes of the imported 3D points, create tables with construction elements and more.

弗洛瑟说:“您可以用三键调整导入的3D点的工作平面,然后可以在选定的表面上绘制一个简单的矩形或多边形。”“要更新表,我要做的就是右键单击我为干施工元素创建的表格及其更新的表。一键单击我都有所有尺寸,并且它们总是最新的。所有这些都与距离测量单元(例如在角剖面中)同样很好地效果。”

To visualise data in an easier way, the CAD expert plots different surfaces or panelling with different classes of a polygon. For instance, Flöther plotted the dry construction surfaces in green and in grey.

Using DISTO™S910, Flöther collects precise 3D data from simple or complex surfaces and transfers easily any measurement into Vectorworks with 3D points available in DXF format. Precision surveying tools just like DISTO™S910 can provide an efficient solution also for CAD software users who need accurate measurements visualised in a smart way for designing.
