Instructor: Joseph Lafranca

Class Description: When labor is expensive, capital is scarce, schedules are tight, and appetites for project risk are low, Cyclone CloudWorx 3.1 for AutoCAD is the product for your engineering, design, surveying, construction, and dimensional control departments. If you want a highly practical introduction to a software application that lets you take advantage of rich 3D point clouds directly within AutoCAD, this class is for you. Cyclone CloudWorx 3.1 for AutoCAD delivers 3D point clouds created by HighDefinition Surveying (HDS), or 3D laser scanning systems directly to the designers and engineers who need accurate, detailed field conditions. CloudWorx provides immediate productivity, enabling users to easily visualize and work with 3D point cloud data, create accurate as-builts, check proposed designs against existing site conditions, and compare construction progress with design plans in their familiar AutoCAD environment. The class includes actual software demonstrations and practical realworld examples.
