ClearEdge3D EdgeWise
The leader in automated feature extraction.
Overview
ClearEdge3D EdgeWise is a specialized software that dramatically speeds up the process of modeling as-built pipes, structure, and ducting from point cloud data. It uses advanced feature extraction algorithms to automatically identify these elements and convert them into intelligent BIM objects, which can then be exported to Revit and other design platforms.
✨ Key Features
- Automated extraction of pipes, structural steel, and ductwork
- Intelligent model creation (e.g., pipes have centerlines and diameters)
- Clash detection between extracted elements
- Direct integration with Autodesk Revit and Plant 3D
- Quality assurance tools to check model accuracy
🎯 Key Differentiators
- High level of automation for specific, repetitive modeling tasks (pipes, steel).
- Significant time savings compared to manual modeling.
- Intelligent object creation, not just geometry.
Unique Value: Reduces the manual, time-consuming process of modeling complex MEP and structural systems from point clouds by up to 70%, saving significant time and money on as-built projects.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Automatically modeling thousands of feet of piping in a complex refinery from scan data.
- Extracting the as-built structural steel model of a building for renovation planning.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Architectural modeling (walls, floors, windows).
- Initial point cloud registration and cleaning.
🏆 Alternatives
Offers a level of automation for pipe and steel modeling that is unmatched by manual methods or more generalized point cloud software.
