5 Ways Laser Scanning Can Improve Your Next Construction Project
Are you still using the archaic phrase, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” when it comes to adopting new technology in construction? Construction has been around for a while, and it is quite literally a building block of our society. While our society is advancing to a technology-driven future, construction, on the other hand, has mostly remained stagnant. So why are we still using “the old way” of doing things?
To keep pace, the construction industry must implement technology into their workflows. A great place to start would be doing a laser scan of your construction site. Laser scanning can improve the construction verification process, which affects all areas of your project.

Create New Material Types, Fill Patterns + Rendering Appearances in Revit
Out of the box Revit has limited material types, fill patterns and rendering appearances. When a project needs a material type not in the standard Revit library, a custom material type with a new surface pattern and rendering appearance is possible. For this demonstration, the ACME BRICK website is used to show how to create a new brick type for a king size brick.
