The ATIS.cloud Workflow: From Scanner to Client in 4 Steps

Scan, register, share, model, how the ATIS.cloud workflow plugs into a typical AEC or surveying team's day-to-day. Real examples from Archistream, AQS Construction and Iscan.

Construction, renovation and industrial site redevelopment projects all move faster when teams adopt modern reality capture workflows. Here's how the ATIS.cloud workflow fits into a typical AEC or surveying team's day-to-day, from the first scan to the final BIM model.

Step 1, Capture the site in 3D

Fixed, mobile or drone-mounted laser scanners (lasergrammetry or photogrammetry) scan the environment with a precision that manual measurements can't reach. Fewer errors, far less time spent on site, smaller crews. The raw goal: capture every relevant piece of geometry in one pass.

Step 2, Register the scans

The scanner exports raw data that's imported into registration software, Leica Register 360, FARO SCENE, Autodesk ReCap, Trimble RealWorks, to align the individual scans into a single, coherent point cloud. ATIS.cloud is compatible with all these tools and ingests the resulting E57, LAS, LAZ, RCS, RCP or LGSx files directly.

Step 3, Share and collaborate on ATIS.cloud

Once assembled, the point cloud is uploaded to ATIS.cloud. From there, the entire team, plus external clients and partners, access it through a browser link. They view it in 3D, measure distances, take annotations, compare it with a BIM model, and hold collaborative meetings, all without installing any software.

Step 4, Export to CAD/BIM for modeling

When the point cloud has been trimmed, validated and shared, the BIM team exports the relevant subset to their CAD/BIM software (Revit, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD) to build the final model. ATIS.cloud supports every major export format, so the handover from the shared cloud to the modeling workstation is seamless.

Feedback from the field

I used to send hard drives full of point clouds for our tenders. Now I just use ATIS.cloud and share via email.
Tim · Archistream
Our entire BIM division collaborates daily on dozens of projects through ATIS.cloud.
Henry · AQS Construction
Thanks to ATIS.cloud, our teams now understand and collaborate on future-location projects much faster.

Customer case, Iscan

Iscan is a 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry provider in Quebec, active in the reality capture market for over 10 years. They deliver Revit models, 2D drawings and structural deformation monitoring.

We were looking for an affordable and functional tool to share and visualize point clouds on the web, and we chose ATIS.cloud, an innovative and functional platform.
Richard Lapointe · Founder, Iscan

Iscan uses ATIS.cloud to organize immersive meetings, download point-cloud data filtered by density, and share information with both internal teams and external partners, all without the logistical overhead of moving hard drives.

The ATIS.cloud workflow isn't about replacing your scanner or your BIM software. It's about removing the friction between them and giving every stakeholder a seat at the same table.
