Measured Building Surveys Poland – our scanning teams to access some rather interesting and spooky places. With basements, attics to abandoned factories the team at M3S have all enjoyed exploring these areas while scanning to allow for a complete survey to aid the creation of plans and models.

Measured Building Surveying in Poland Using Laser Scanning

M3S use both a Leica RTC360 and Leica P40 laser scanner to capture the as built conditions on site. These scanners can capture data at rates of up to 2 million points per second on the RTC and up to 1 million points per second on the P40. To allow for a complete survey the team are often in basements, attics, abandoned buildings etc.  The high quality data collected allows the team to create 3D models, floor plans, elevations and cross sections. As well as extracting topographical data on suitable sites.

Captured Data LIDAR From Measured Surveys  – Cyclone Register 360 / Cyclone Core

Once the data has been captured on site, the data is imported to Leica Cyclone.  If the RTC360 has been used with VIS is gets imported to Register 360 for an initial registration before being imported to Cyclone Core where full registration and further QC takes place. Once the registration, quality control and any additional survey control is added the registration is locked and the data exported to allow it to carry on to the production stage of the project.

Previous Measured Building Surveys

Our team has an office in Krakow with regular laser scanning in the city as well as further cities incluing Warsaw, Katowice, Wroclaw, Poznan, Lodz and Lublin.

Our Scan Team were not so lucky when they surveyed this former factory – we have enough scan data for the crime scene team to investigate. #CrimeScene #Halloween2021 #EveryDetailMatters #JasonVoorhees #RTC360

Registration Tutorials For Leica Cyclone

Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 Version 2021.1.2 is the most recent release from Leica GeoSystems point cloud registration software – the M3S Surveys team have been using the original Cyclone Core software for the last 8 years. Due to the recent addition to our scanner fleet of a Leica RTC360 we have been trying out Reigster 360 with the RTC360 data when using the VIS feature before importing the project into Cyclone Core for final registration and QC checks.

Registration in Leica Cyclone Reg 360

There are quite a few differences between the packages and for those of us set in our ways of using Cyclone Core its hard to get use to the more visual interface of Reg360.

Using VIS allows for the scans to be placed in the correct location before applying additional registration techniques and QC.

M3S Surveys have been involved in carrying out measured surveys in Poland over the last 5 years. These range from residential property, hotels to large historical sites in cities including Kraków, Warsaw, Gdańsk, Katowice, Wrocław, Łódź and Kielce plus many smaller towns and rural areas. Our primary method of survey is via laser scanning. This allows the team to collect large amounts of data to create a point cloud. From the point cloud the M3S team can create measured survey drawings and 3D models. Our measured surveys include floor plans, elevations, cross sections and Revit models. Our team that is located in Poland can be on site within short notice. (*Our site is also available in Polish: Polish Language Website – https://www.m3s-surveys.com/pl/strona-glowna/  )

Our clients in Poland and the UK clients also receive TruViews via the Leica LGS format – these can viewed with a free piece of software from Leica Geosystems called TruView Viewer (PC only).  This allows each scan station on site to be visited from your desktop, mark up and take measurements along with the ability to insert an IFC file within the LGS point cloud version of the export. A basic example of this can be viewed in the following video:

Polish Version Of This Blog Post – “nwentaryzacje architektoniczno budowlane”

Well 2021 so far has been busy, carried on from the busy end of 2020 in to 2021 with plenty of laser scanning in the UK and Poland.  The last 12 months with Covid have been a real roller coaster but thankfully due to the nature of many surveys taking place either out doors or in empty buildings many jobs have still managed to continue.  At M3S Surveys we are seeing an increase in demmand for laser scanning on smaller sites such as residential proprties that require detailed elevations, cross sections along with floor plans. All of our clients also recieve TruViews in the LGS format to allow them to view each scan station which can be shared with all the professional services involved in the project. One other advantage of the TruView LGS Viewer is that IFC can be load in and viewed against the point cloud.

Laser Scanning – TruView LGS Point Cloud Viewer & IFC File

Surveying Tools & Deliverable Files

Laser Scanning  – fast, accurate collection of all the visible points that is registered together to create a point cloud of your project.

Photography – we can capture standard high resolution imagery and a range of 360 images depending on the job specification.

UAV Photography – our partners in the UK & Poland are fully liscenced and insured to fly. The M3S team have years of experience on UAV projects including flying fixed wing and processing data.

Photogrammetry – the imagery captured with the UAV and terrestrial photography can be merged in specialist software and combined with laser scan data  and/or points surveyed using a total station for scale to produce high resolution ortho photos and models.

Land Surveying – survey control and topographical data captured.

2D & 3D Drawings – supply both 2D and 3D drawings and topos.

3D Revit Model – 3D model of as built conditions in various formats including Revit.

The M3S Surveys team have been enjoying the recent upgrades in Leica Cyclone Register & Publisher Pro 2020.1 – including the LGS export for viewing within JetStream.  The latest release allows users of the FREE Jetstream Viewer to import models in IFC and OBJ formats to view them against the point cloud. An example of this can be seen in the following video from the Reality Capture expert, Paul Burrows of Leica Geosystems in the UK:

Leica Cyclone Register & Publisher Pro 2020.1 – M3S Surveys Ltd Experience:

M3S Surveys team members have been using the registration software since 2013 and have enjoyed all the upgrades throughout the years. Improving work flows, quality of registration, efficiency and superior outputs for viewing data and file formats for importing to 3rd party software. This included hands on training when two of our team members were also receiving official Leica training on how to use the Leica Scan station P40 laser scanner when it was first released.  With regular updates and improvements to both laser scanning firmware and software, and the various export modules including TruView Publisher (now called Publisher Pro) the team make sure they take part in all Leica webinars and videos on line.

One of the most popular requests from our clients are TruViews in the new Leica format, LGS. The LGS TruView file loads very quickly and smoothly on the majority of PC’s via Leica Jet Stream viewer (which is free!).

The M3S team have spent years using and improving our work flows for laser scanning & measured surveying. From on site, registration software, QC to production for plans, elevations, cross sections, topo and Revit models. In addition to these products the laser scanning data can also be used for the following:

• Point Cloud (view / import to 3rd party software)
• Jet Stream Viewer (desktop viewer that allows the client to visit the site and each scan location with the ability to measure etc)
• Ortho from Point Cloud (high resolution ortho image can be generated and underlaid in CAD)
• LGS (a Leica Geosystems file that can be used in Jet Stream and CloudWorx)

The video below is a screen recording from point cloud data (LGS format) in the free to use Leica Jet Stream viewer.  It can be used on your local machine or hosted online* (depending on data size this can be costly).

Revit Model From Point Cloud – Laser Scanning & Measured Surveying

Once of the products that be produced from the successful data capture from laser scanning is a Revit model. This is produced from modeling the point cloud. The following video shows what can be produced:
