In this user report, we discuss how to convert point clouds from FARO Scene to an Autodesk RECAP project *.rcp so that you can import these point clouds in AutoCAD.

Faro Scene 6.2 Referencing issues May 23, 2017 (Scene 6.2) is mostly very helpful software, although there are some very serious bugs involved within it when using it in a high-accuracy survey format.

There are three different ways to transfer data processed in FARO Scene into an Autodesk RECAP project.

A| Use *.rcp export function directly in FARO Scene

  1. We start with a Scene project that has already been registered.
  2. In the workflow bar just look for 'Export'.
  3. Use the tool 'Export as project'.
  4. Switch export format to 'Recap Project (*.rcp)' and select output folder.
  5. Click on 'Export' to start the export. Note that it will take a little time to export your project, depending on your project size.

B | Use Autodesk RECAP and import the FARO Scene project

  1. We start with a Scene project that has already been registered.
  2. Open RECAP and launch a new project.
  3. IMPORT: Click on 'Select files to import' and navigate to the Scene project you would convert into *.rcp format.
  4. Import the '.lsproj' file of your Scene project.
  5. Before you start importing the scan data, please adjust the filter options given by RECAP.
  6. Start the import. It will take a little time to import all scans.
  7. Index the scans.
  8. You can review the point cloud in RECAP before you save the project.

C | Use the E57 export option in FARO Scene and the import option in Autodesk RECAP

  1. We start with a Scene project that has already been registered.
  2. In the workflow bar just look for 'Export'.
  3. Use the tool 'Export Scan Points' and then 'Export Scans - Ordered'.
  4. Select E57 format and make sure that you enter the check box to export every scan in a separate file.
  5. Adjust the other export options if you like and start the export. Note that it will take a little time to export all the scans into E57 format.
  6. Open RECAP and launch a new project.
  7. IMPORT: Click on 'Select files to import' and navigate to the folder where you saved all .e57 files and select them.
  8. Before you start importing the scan data, please adjust the filter options given by RECAP.
  9. Start the import. It will take a little time to import all the scans.
  10. Index the scans.
  11. You can review the point cloud in RECAP before you save the project.

FARO has announced the availability of the FARO SCENE 7.0 software platform. SCENE 7.0 includes functionality offered by its predecessor, SCENE 6.2, such as automatic object recognition, scan registration and position, and takes it a step further with integrated real time, on-site registration, for FARO FocusS Series Scanner 3D point clouds.

The value of SCENE 7.0 can be realized by diverse industries, including architecture, engineering, construction and public safety or any industry where there is a premium placed on capturing/scanning, analyzing and enhancing 3D data.

The Unique Power of Real Time, On-site Registration

Faro Scene 6.2

Previously, the process of taking an actual scan in the field, transferring that scan to a computer workstation/PC to start using the data was a three-step process. The project 3D scan data was stored on physical SD cards at the project site. Then the user would bring the SD card to the office and physically insert the SD card into a workstation/PC for download. Finally, the scans, once all loaded from the SD cards, would be registered (i.e., logically integrated into a cohesive set of data points on the computer workstation/PC in the office and then the data would finally be ready for use).

SCENE 7.0 supports a seamless, more efficient process. Real time, on-site registration enables the 3D scan data, whether it be from a single scan or multiple scans in process simultaneously, to be wirelessly transmitted (i.e., no SD cards needed) directly to an onsite computer workstation/PC in real time. Additionally, the scans are automatically aligned on the workstation/PC computer in real time, in the field. This enables a new set of powerful user benefits unrivaled in the industry:

  • Improved Productivity: In-office data processing has been dramatically reduced and, in some cases, eliminated altogether. Users come back to the office with a registered product and can get to work immediately. Additionally, the larger the project or the more scans required, the greater the realized efficiencies, in terms of project cycle time and human resources on site.
  • Enhanced Confidence: FARO FocusS Series Scanner users are now able to preview scans/projects while still in the field, confirm that all of their project requirements have been accounted for while still in the field and make any necessary adjustments in the field in real time.

SCENE 7.0 is now available for ordering.
