Reality Capture has been in the industry since the late 1990’s where it has evolved from it’s tripod-based roots into encompassing many different forms of data capture of today. One could easily make an argument that Reality Capture has also grown from a handful of sensors to now a wide variety of processes. Regardless of where the data comes from, there has been one consistent and constant challenge that professionals still face. What to do with the volumes of data Reality Capture creates and how to make meaningful deliverables. This session will look at a brief history of Reality Capture as well as provide insight on how Leica CloudWorx continues to provide powerful tools for converting massive point cloud data into meaningful 3D models, 2D CAD drawings, and topographic deliverables. Furthermore, many tools in Leica CloudWorx serve as enhancements to the standard CAD tools that are in the various Autodesk suite of software packages.

Ramp It Up: Civil 3D Tactics for Accessible Design

Accessibility is more than a checkbox—it’s an ethical design priority that starts with your site layout decisions, which drive your entire grading design. As civil engineers and designers, we shape how people interact with and experience the built environment. Prioritizing accessibility ensures spaces are inclusive, functional, and welcoming for all. This session will focus on using feature lines and grading objects in Civil 3D software to design accessible areas such as ramps, landings, and walkways. We’ll explore key accessibility considerations—like slope, cross-slope, and elevation transitions—while maintaining flexibility and precision in your grading model. You’ll learn how to apply Civil 3D tools and surface styles to create accurate, construction-ready designs that meet technical and regulatory standards. Whether working on a small site or large development, this session will equip you with strategies to confidently integrate accessibility into your grading design.

A Dynamic Lab on AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks

Why should you be using dynamic blocks? Quite simply, dynamic blocks can greatly reduce the number of blocks in your library, improving your efficiency. While it does take a little more time up front to create a dynamic block, the time saved on the back end makes it well worth the effort! Even better news: If you’re a proficient user of AutoCAD software, you should have no problem converting those boring static blocks into shiny new dynamic blocks.
