New modeling tools, including a demolition routine, speed the process of turning a billion points into a 3D model for most plant design products. It was only last year that the 3D scan data experts at ClearEdge3D introduced their automated tool for finding and 3D modeling complex piping in process plant facilities. Today they release the fourth update to EdgeWise Plant, adding … [Read more...] about Fourth release of EdgeWise Plant increased value of process plant 3D scans
