Tier 1's LiDAR to 3D Model Processing Roadmap Example
Services are customizable to meet your specific needs
Step 1: Field Data Collection
-
Tier 1's experienced LiDAR technicians scan the existing substation including all equipment, structures, and nameplates on state-of-the-art equipment and software.
-
Tier 1 utilizes equipment with typical scanning accuracy requirements of 1.9mm @ 10m; 2.9mm @ 20m; 5.3mm @ 40m


Step 2: Processing Captured Data
-
Raw LiDAR data is imported into a secure location and uploaded into the processing software.
-
Tier 1 experts process the data by removing any non-permanent objects.
-
Data is outputted to desired file format for 3D design creation.


Step 3: Finalizing Data for Inventor
-
The Recap file is modified by moving to origin point to be centered within the fence and orientation of the origin is aligned with know items along a vertical and Horizonal axis.
-
In the case of a very large substation, the point cloud will be broken up into smaller General Arrangements typically by voltage.


Step 4: Inventor As-built Model Creation
