CAD-to-Point vs. Point-to-CAD + extremely efficient + high level of automation - long learning period - needs CAD interfaces - expensive + easy to understand + good CAD interfaces + cheap - limitations in handling the point clouds - needs AutoCAD • There is no competition between the two concepts!
Idea of FARO Cloud • FARO Cloud is the integration of point clouds as custom entities in the AutoCAD environment. • The point cloud will be displayed in AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT and can be evaluated with all native AutoCAD commands. • Each point (X,Y,Z) of the point cloud can be snapped with the object-snap of AutoCAD.

AutoCAD -Drawing (DWG) PTC-File Contains all points (x,y,z,r,g,b) in an optimized structure Polyline Point Text Pipe ... reference Custom Entity ? Pointcloud
Advantages of the custom entity „Pointcloud“ • less memory consumption • Level of Detail • correct draw-order • exact object-snap • different types of visible sectors
