This series began in response to feedback from users who, despite having adopted 3D scanning, said, “We don’t know how to make use of the scanned models.”

The latest video in this three-part series focuses on two common on-site challenges: " how to draw scaffolding layout diagrams " and " how to accurately depict vehicles."
By applying these techniques, you can dramatically reduce the time it takes to gather materials from subcontractors and obtain quotes.

In this article, we’ll share some practical tips that can make your work surprisingly smooth in situations where you need to accurately visualize the current status—such as when applying for a road use permit at a police station.

Theme 3: Instantly visualize the current status of both scaffolding and vehicles

By utilizing Scanatmeasurement lines, the following on-site challenges can be resolved instantly, dramatically reducing work time.

♦︎Accurate and quick measurement of road widths

Accurate measurement of the "road width (distance between the inner edges of the curbs)" is required when applying for a road use permit.
Scanat, you can visualize the width from curb to curb and road occupancy regulations directly on the screen.

"If the road is 4.75 meters wide, you can extend the scaffolding up to 0.475 meters—one-tenth of that width—toward the roadside.
The fact that you can instantly tell at a glance what’s allowed and what isn’t makes this extremely convenient on-site."

Before heading to the site, you can accurately determine the dimensions required for the road use permit application on the spot, ensuring a smooth application process without any rework.

♦︎Create a rough sketch of your scaffolding in just a few taps

Scaffolding layout diagrams, which are crucial for construction planning, can also be easily created by utilizing Scanat measurement lines.

"The key point is that while you can sketch things out intuitively and quickly, anyone—whether it’s a site supervisor, a subcontractor, or anyone else—can create drawings with the same level of precision."

Anyone can create scaffolding layout plans with the same level of accuracy in just a few taps, eliminating communication errors with subcontractors and significantly reducing the time required to obtain quotes.

♦︎Drawing cars is easy, from 2D to 3D

Vehicle representations are essential for explaining parking locations and sharing traffic flow plans.
Scanat, you can instantly create vehicles within 3D models based on numerical data.

"While it can be difficult to convey a sense of a vehicle's height or the feeling of its presence using only 2D renderings,
presenting it in 3D makes it significantly easier to explain to our partners and clients."

By sharing a three-dimensional representation of the vehicle’s height and sense of scale, it becomes easier to manage safety on-site and explain the design to the client, making it simpler to convey the intended image.
