Civil infrastructure will continue to need to accelerate, according to Valois. “There has been an enormous infrastructure deficit over the years. Any time we stop accelerating we make the problem worse. Now we have social distancing, and funding challenges. Projects may be funded by a special tax on gas, for example.

Our answer is the digital twin, and helping our users to go digital.”  Digital Bridge Pointfuse Space Creator Automates Feature Conversion to BIM LOD 200 and Much MoreThursday, March 12th, 2020Pointfuse, a powerful modeling engine that delivers an automatic, precise and flexible way of converting the vast point cloud datasets generated by laser scanners or photogrammetry into segmented mesh models, has launched a new toolkit called Space Creator.
