Engineer’s Toolbox: Capturing Reality for AEC

Increasingly, AEC professionals use digital representations of physical environments to plan, design, build and modify structures. If created properly, these digital models can capture physical spaces in enough detail to accurately recreate their features, measure their topography, and simulate their attributes.

The process of digitizing physical environments is called reality capture, and it comes with some challenges that every AEC professional should understand. This toolbox outlines common reality capture technologies, how to select the right method, and basics concepts of 3D modeling and documentation.
