Step 1

Measure Point Cloud Data in Prevu3D

Use laser scanning or LiDAR to capture accurate, high-resolution as-built data of the facility.

Step 2

Generate Mesh Model in Prevu3D

Transform point cloud data into a detailed mesh model, preserving real-world spatial context.

Step 3

Import FBX File Into PlantStream

Export the mesh as an FBX file and bring it into PlantStream to begin piping layout and equipment design.

Step 4

Design Inside PlantStream with As-Built Context

Use the imported mesh to route piping and place equipment efficiently with PlantStream’s intelligent auto-routing tools.

Step 5

Export RVM and Validate in Prevu3D

Bring the PlantStream model back into Prevu3D (RVM format) for contextual visualization, stakeholder review, and field team validation.
