GRAPHISOFT to host Live Webinar on Drones and 3D Laser Scanning

By using drones and 3D laser scanners to measure the Arizona State Fairgrounds Grandstand Building, a 1938 WPA project built of concrete, steel, and some adobe, a combined Arizona and Oregon-based team slashed the estimated schedule: instead of 15-20 surveyors working for 3 months using traditional methods, they got the job done in four days.

Philip Allsopp, Senior Sustainability Scientist and Adjunct Professor with the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability at Arizona State University, will present a case study about this groundbreaking use of 3D laser survey and point clouds with ARCHICAD 19.
