“Not only did Cyrax and CloudWorx help us win the as-built portion of the project (40% cost savings to the client and faster delivery), but we also had a very positive project execution experience with CloudWorx. It enabled our CAD technicians to quickly learn how to efficiently process point clouds into 2D drawings directly inside MicroStation.”

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation contracted rock removal from a rock face overlooking SR322 at Mt. Pleasant, PA. In order to verify the contractor’s estimate regarding the the volume of rock removed, PennDOT scanned the face using the Cyrax system. Contour maps generated directly within Cyra Software were exported to AutoCAD® and MicroStation®. Volumetric information was compared to that prepared by the contractor. läs mer
