ClearEdge3D EdgeWise 5.9: Automated Scan-to-BIM Software

EdgeWise 5.9 is ClearEdge3D's professional scan-to-BIM software that automates the extraction of 3D models from point cloud data for infrastructure, plant, and building projects, using advanced computer vision for feature recognition and direct CAD/BIM platform integration .

Key Features in EdgeWise 5.9

Automated Feature Extraction

• Computer Vision Algorithms: Automatically extracts pipes, structural steel, conduit, walls, ducts, and cable trays from terrestrial and mobile point clouds

• Pattern Matching Technology: Recognizes and models repetitive elements without manual selection

• 73% Faster Workflow: Reduces manual modeling time by up to 73% compared to traditional methods

QA/QC & Verification Tools

• SmartSheet Interface: Displays point cloud coverage, element specifications, lengths, and QA/QC insights for all modeled elements

• Cross-Section View: Enables precise verification, resizing, and adjustment of modeled objects

• Model Accuracy Control: Complete oversight of element validation before final deliverable production

Point Cloud Export Tools

• Remaining Clouds: Export points from unmodeled objects (custom equipment, machinery) separately

• Smart Points: Isolate points belonging to modeled objects for quick editing without reprocessing

• Clean Data: Maintain focused, accurate point cloud datasets for downstream workflows
