For the first time, users can bring extracted ducting, conduit and other mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) elements directly into Autodesk® Revit® as fully functional pipe, conduit or duct Revit families. Even rectangular ducting, complex transitions and mitered elbows can be easily modeled from point clouds. ClearEdge3D’s MEP solution leverages the powerful feature extraction technology of EdgeWise to extract cylindrical and rectangular solids from laser scan point clouds. EdgeWise dramatically speeds the process of modeling MEP as-builts, offering users time savings of up to 85%.

EdgeWise is designed to take the pain out of modeling as-built MEP. Our automated feature extraction technology and semi-automated tools quickly extract pipe and duct geometry from point clouds so you spend minimal time tracing. The EdgeWise finished model can be brought into Revit as fully functional duct, conduit or pipe (even non-standard elbows) Revit families.

EdgeWise quality assurance tools allow you to check the accuracy of every extracted element to ensure your model is true to the point cloud. Any poorly fitted objects can be easily and quickly resized and adjusted to the points to give you precise control and accuracy of your model. With EdgeWise, you can stand confident that your final deliverable meets or exceeds specified project accuracy.

We’ve fine-tuned the algorithms in EdgeWise to virtually eliminate the problem of false-positive pipes, extracting even more pipes and ducts from point clouds faster than ever before. EdgeWise’s new duct tools model highly complex transitions and elbows—saving you countless hours in manual modeling.

Occlusions, transitions, elbows, or other difficult elements can slow down your workflow and add hours to your modeling project. ClearEdge has created completely new tools and algorithms that can accurately connect occluded regions of pipe, join elbows and model transitions to move your workflow along in record time.

In fact, users report an average time-savings of about 70% over other MEP modeling software tools – which can add up to thousands of dollars on larger projects! With savings like this, you can bid more competitively, win more projects and grow your firm’s revenue. EdgeWise users usually see a 100% return on investment in just one or two projects.
