Pointfuse Launches Simple BIM Solution for Facilities Management

Pointfuse has developed smart software that automates the identification and classification of objects for facilities management applications using data from mobile mapping systems like the new Leica BLK2GO. Pointfuse software converts the millions of individual measurements captured by laser scanning and photogrammetry into useable 3D mesh models. It can now realize real time records for space utilization and optimization projects, reducing costs and speeding workflows within facilities management. Pointfuse ‘Simple BIM’ (sBIM) leverages the core functionality of Pointfuse - the segmented mesh model; automatically converting classified mesh models into ‘family’ groups, such as walls, floors, doors, windows, etc. for use with popular downstream BIM and FM software. Pointfuse sBIM data can then be exported as IFC (Industry Foundation Class) parametrized objects and 2D floors plans and space management reports easily derived. Pointfuse sBIM also automatically calculates quantities, areas and dimensions in an easy to read PDF report. www.pointfuse.com
