Design review / IFC & DXF design loading

Bring design into the scene.

Review engineering designs in the same 3D workspace as your survey. Control layer visibility and opacity to inspect geometry in context.

Start with

Supported IFC or DXF files with understood units, design revision and coordinate alignment.

Create

Visible design layers alongside the recording for spatial review.

Why it matters

Reduce the distance between the captured site and the engineering information used to interpret it.

The workflow

How ifc & dxf design loading works.

  1. 01

    Select the design revision

    Load the relevant IFC or DXF through the recording's design tools. Retain the file's provenance and revision.

  2. 02

    Check coordinates and units

    Verify placement against known references. Loading a design does not by itself establish a correct survey alignment.

  3. 03

    Control the display

    Toggle layers, adjust opacity and fit the view to the design. Inspect geometry and available feature information.

  4. 04

    Review in context

    Compare relevant features with the point cloud and supporting imagery. Record the viewpoint and the assumptions behind your interpretation.

Read the result in context

The AT300 illustration shows designs in their native coordinates with original cloud alignment unverified. It demonstrates loading, not a verified as-built compliance result.
