I'm a brand new user to ReCap and the BLK360, but I have been using the Faro S-series of scanners with Faro Scene for several years.
I have been unable to find any info specific to ReCap about the practice of re-scanning a construction site over time to track progress. I understand that it is necessary to establish referenced benchmarks that can snap the point clouds together, but I want to see what are the best practices for guaranteed success in this methodology within ReCap. Also, I would like to see what are the tools and practices that one might use to highlight areas of the project that have changed from scan to scan.
In terms of use cases, it should be obvious, but this process is important for new construction, as well as for renovations. The first case has new rough framing first, then finished surfaces after interior and exterior cladding is applied, but of which has implications for various sub-contractors. The latter case of renovation work has the added layer of existing walls pre-demo, then later the framing post demo, then last the finished interior and exterior surfaces after new framing and cladding.
in particular, I would like to know what are the best types of benchmarks to use that produce the highest degree of accuracy, what methods of optimizing the scan data to reduce unnecessary duplication of scanned objects, and how to isolate areas that have changed between successive scans.
Any info or resources on this topic would be helpful and appreciated!
