What is RealityPlan?

RealityPlan is an advanced platform designed to streamline engineering and construction projects by combining reality capture data with CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and BIM (Building Information Modeling) tools. Tailored for engineering, manufacturing, and construction professionals, RealityPlan simplifies design, visualization, and collaboration, enabling teams to make faster, more accurate decisions using real-world data.


Key Benefits of RealityPlan

RealityPlan transforms traditional engineering processes by accelerating workflows, enhancing collaboration, and optimizing resource use. Here’s how it can benefit your project:

  • Accelerated Design Iteration: Move from design concept to visualization in hours rather than days, speeding up project timelines and improving productivity.

  • Reduced Operating Costs: Efficient resource allocation, streamlined workflows, and reduced rework lead to a 35% reduction in operating expenses.

  • Lower Planning Errors: RealityPlan’s real-world data integration helps prevent costly design errors, resulting in a 25% reduction in planning issues.

  • Enhanced Collaboration: RealityPlan facilitates remote collaboration, cutting down on travel needs and achieving a 70% increase in collaborative efficiency by bringing stakeholders into a shared virtual workspace.

How RealityPlan Works

RealityPlan integrates reality capture data—like 3D scans of real-world environments—into a cohesive platform where users can create, modify, and analyze complex engineering layouts. Key features include asset management, design tools, interactive visualization, remote collaboration, and powerful quality assurance tools to validate designs and optimize workflows.

RealityAssets

RealityAssets are core elements in RealityPlan, representing spatial definitions of assets within 3D environments. These assets are more than visual elements—they carry metadata and can be organized, annotated, and customized with parameters for a variety of uses, including training, inspection, and safety planning.

Customizable Parameters and Metadata Integration

RealityPlan allows users to enrich RealityAssets with custom parameters, including asset types, model specifications, or technical links. This makes assets easily searchable and usable across different project phases, ensuring all stakeholders have access to consistent, up-to-date data.

Interactive Design Tools

RealityPlan offers powerful mesh segmentation and design tools to define and modify RealityAssets. Users can create 3D models, perform collision testing, animate assets, and export to CAD for seamless integration, transforming raw reality capture data into actionable design assets. Additionally, the Visual Compare Tool enables precise validation of CAD/BIM models against as-built conditions.

AI-Powered RealityAsset Creation

The Asset Magic Wand, powered by AI, allows users to easily isolate and define complex assets from 3D scans. It functions like a selection tool, enabling quick creation of RealityAssets that can then be refined for precision, simplifying complex asset management.

Comprehensive Documentation and Knowledge Sharing

RealityPlan centralizes documentation, allowing for a “single source of truth.” Users can attach annotations, technical documents, training videos, and CAD metadata directly to RealityAssets, streamlining knowledge sharing and ensuring that every team member has the necessary context.

Advanced QA and Measurement Tools

RealityPlan includes a suite of tools for quality assurance and accurate measurement, making it easier to validate designs and ensure project accuracy:

  • Clash Detection: Identify conflicts between new CAD designs and existing environments early, helping to reduce costly errors.

  • Volume Measurement Tool: Accurately assess stockpiles, land areas, and other critical measurements for precise planning.

  • RealityConnect for Revit: Integrate RealityPlan directly with Revit for a seamless experience, further enhancing project efficiency.

Enhanced Navigation and Collaboration

With real-time 3D visualization, team members and stakeholders can remotely explore project environments, interact with assets, and provide feedback. This feature is designed for collaborative work, making it easy to share insights, address concerns, and update designs collectively.
