Handheld Augmented reality makes communicating complex building designs easy–It’s a bit like bringing a Revit model to the job site, instantly keyed to your plan documents.
Illustrate construction details in three dimensions on top of the official construction document.? Then see 360 degree photospheres of the full model at scale.
*We had thousands of Autodesk University attendees test our app and give us feedback. We couldn?t resist tweaking it before we rolled out the demo to your teams. Expect improved tracking, an easier user interface, and easy to follow instructions.
Have a tablet? Augmented reality overlays 3D digital models on the plan sheet.?To see how augmented plans work in action you first need a plan set that has been augmented!
STEP 1: GET THE DEMO APP
Get our demo app–you’ll find an invite to be a beta tester when you submit your email.
STEP 2: PRINT THE PLANS
Second, print that planset. Grab it while it’s hot off the press for warmth cause it’s cold out there.
STEP 3: CHECK OUT THOSE PLANS IN AUGMENTED REALITY
Open the app and point it at the plans. 3D models will instantly align to the plan documents. Voila.
STEP 4: AUGMENT YOUR PROJECT with Bevel.
Got plans? We create custom interactive presentations with our technology. Space is limited, so email us today.
You can print one, several, or all of these sheets. They work separately or together?the app automatically recognizes which drawing you?re looking at.
The standard drawing set is 24 x 36, and we have included some sheets at 8 1/2 x 11 and 11 x 17 if you don?t have a plotter handy.
I don?t have an iOS device?does this work with Android?
This demo was only made for iOS, however, we can make this exact functionality for Android if needed for your project. Just ask.
The augmented model seems to be misaligned with the page. How to fix this?
Make sure there is no scaling happening in your print. The app uses the camera?s exact image size to figure out where the AR model should be placed. This means even 5% scaling by the printer would result in misalignment.
This demo isn?t working on my project?s plans.
This demo only works with this particular project. Want a demo to show off your project? We can absolutely make that for you.
Step 1:?We review your project files and goals for your plans.
Step 2:?Bevel sends you a proposal and timeline.
Step 3:?Receive your custom app and plans on time and on budget.
Step 4:?Your team kicks ass at the design review meeting!
What about full scale? Custom features?
Yes, absolutely. This demo is only an example of commonly requested features?your imagination is the limit. We work individually with our clients to make sure the app is exactly what they need. We write software. That?s why we?re here.
What if we don?t use Revit?
No problem. Because this is a custom solution and we speak architecture, any 3D modeling software will work with this application. If it?s a BIM solution capable of exporting IFC, we can also get metadata into the application.
The app isn?t finding the plans very well even when I?m pointing directly at it. How to fix?
Make sure the print is clear, the page is well lite and free of any harsh shadows, writing, or wrinkles. The app is comparing the image its sees on camera with the one its memory.
