Topcon and Autodesk BIM 360 Webinar
Watch Lisa Duncan (Director of Vertical Construction, Topcon Positioning Team) and Matthias Stark (Application Specialist, Topcon Positioning Group), discuss how we can help connect your office software to the field through our integration with Autodesk BIM 360.
This 45 minute webinar will show you how to:
- Streamline document management bi-directionally between the office and field layout crew
- Perform field layout from building plans stored in the Autodesk cloud
- Access Autodesk documents through Enterprise and Sitelink3D via Topcon machine automation
Go digital with your layout
Workflow is the most important factor for BIM users. That's why we provide a complete solution tailored to your needs.
Our workflows start by placing points in your model with Autodesk Point Layout and then sending those points to the Total Station or Layout Navigator in the field.
Through the synergy between Autodesk authoring tools and Topcon software and hardware solutions, we provide the fastest and easiest way to accomplish BIM to Field.

Accurate, reliable and easy to use solutions

Topcon / Autodesk synergistic solutions help Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Wall contractors boost the performance of various teams and facility managers through improved integration and coordination.
Topcon solutions ensure accurate layout as well as reliable as-built, in the case of pre-existing parts. The final result is that prefabricated parts fit together properly. For the purpose of laying out complex curves, elaborate architectural soffits and suspended ceilings that require many points and extreme accuracy, our solutions running on a mobile device simplify the process of selecting individual points.
Better oversight and control of your construction process

We provide the right solutions to improve accuracy and control, save time, and ultimately increase profits. Especially for Construction Management Firms and General Contractors that want to improve their workflow and the coordination of projects, teams, and data.
Our quality assurance / quality control capability (QA/QC) through Autodesk BIM 360 Layout integration, helps you to prevent and resolve conflicts in the field to save time and increase productivity.
Easy and accurate layout

Save time and money by installing prefabrication correctly on site the first time. We ensure this by providing solutions to capture the existing conditions and layout items such as sleeves, walls, equipment, pipe, and sheet metal hangers correctly.

Rapid and Accurate Site Documentation
Meet the demands of modern construction processes even in the most challenging job sites. You can capture complete 3D information to describe the existing site and conditions both visually and geometrically with our laser scanning solutions. Our GLS-2000 series laser scanners feature an unmatched combination of speed, accuracy, and detail.
Raw reality data from the Topcon GLS-2000 laser scanner can be taken directly into Autodesk ReCap 360 and ReCap 360 Pro at any stage of the point cloud process: registration, clean-up, indexing, segmentation and more. From there the reality data captured with the GLS-2000 is ready for consumption in any Autodesk software solution such as AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, Navisworks, Infraworks and 3ds Max.
Through the synergy between Autodesk and Topcon software and hardware solutions, we provide the fastest and easiest way to accomplish Data Capture.
Easy Laser Scanning

Benefit from simple and effective technology. You get intuitive touch screen operation and precise, high-quality data with Scan Technology II.
Improve Field Efficiency

Collect the highest quality of data with our unique technological innovations.
Selectable measurement modes let you enable effective field workflows. Three GLS-2000 models are available to meet a wide range of target application requirements.
You can choose the optimal scanning speed/range based on site conditions on a scan-by-scan basis. Each measurement mode setting allows you to achieve specified accuracies on just a single pass, reducing overall time per station setup.
Increase Confidence in your Results

Capture the most accurate data possible under any conditions with the GLS-2000 innovative technology. Detect timing more accurately with the Precise Scan Technology II which incorporates waveform signal processing, enhancing time-of-flight measurements. A multiple-lens array then optimizes the collimation of the laser beam based on the test range measurement.
Deliver More Complete Information

Ensure that no detail goes uncaptured with our customizable scan resolution defaults working in combination with dual 5mp digital cameras for collecting color imagery. You can capture reality, share, and access 3d data from field to office effortlessly.
After processing in ScanMaster software, export your file in a broad selection of formats, including our widely accepted cl3, which supports today’s most requested design, analysis, and modeling applications.
Building Facility Scanning
Preliminary inspection is an indispensable component of building renovation or relocation of factory equipment. The GLS-2000 quickly measures and collects precise 3D point clouds without interrupting your ongoing operations.
Utilize high-density 3D point clouds for generating as-built drawings and for simulation of piping or equipment installation. And safely operate the GLS-2000 even in areas where laser emission power is restricted simply by choosing the Low Power (Class 1M) measurement mode.
