Visualization and layout validation

Design smarter with real-world context

RealityConnect bridges design and reality—sync scans, load assets, and integrate as-built data into Plant 3D in just a few clicks. Eliminate guesswork, reduce rework, and design with confidence.

Key features of RealityConnect™ Plugin for Plant 3D

  • Sync laser scans directly from Prevu3D into Plant 3D.

  • Use clipping tools to load only the environment you need—point cloud or mesh.

  • Reduce manual cleanup and accelerate project startup with precise, real-world context.
