PointSens offers the following features :-

• Produce improved laser scan workflows directly within Revit for family wall extraction,
• Wall angle modification and rectification,
• Surface study and topo extraction,
• Extraction of work planes/edges/corners out of point clouds,
• Authentic 3D point cloud snapping,
• Plane/edge recognition with a single click,
• Ortho image formation and more,
• Creation of new Revit family objects out of scan data and inclusion of common objects like doors, windows, modeling lines, construction points and basic topo surfaces.

The users can get multiple options for handling as-built data in the Family Editor.
