Read more in Cadalyst Magazine about how Autodesk reality capture and design tools were used in a big project using Laser scanners and UAS/UAV.

“Laser scanners and point cloud–processing software help the United States Air Force Academy to better understand its Cadet Chapel and make a plan for its rehabilitation.

Designed by Walter Netsch of the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, and completed in 1962, the United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel is one of the most daring and strikingly beautiful buildings ever commissioned by a branch of the United States military. The soaring, 17-spired structure overcame initial controversy related to its design and tubular steel construction to become an undisputed modernist masterpiece, as well as a revered spiritual sanctuary.”
