Bentley to Distribute Cyra's CloudWorx; Point Clouds to Enable Rapid As-Built Creation.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers daratechPLANT2003 HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2003 Bentley Systems Bentley Systems, Incorporated, provides software for the "Design, construction and operation of the world's infrastructure". The company’s software serves the building, plant, civil, and geospatial vertical markets in the areas of architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) , Incorporated and Cyra Technologies, Incorporated, a Leica Geosystems Leica Geosystems (formerly known as Wild Heerbrugg or just Wild) based in eastern Switzerland produces products and systems for surveying and geographical measurement (geomatics). company, today announced that Bentley will distribute Cyra's CloudWorx(TM) application software. CloudWorx enables architecture, engineering and construction (AEC AEC US Atomic Energy Commission Noun 1. AEC - a former executive agency (from 1946 to 1974) that was responsible for research into atomic energy and its peacetime uses in the United States Atomic Energy Commission ) professionals to quickly generate as-built models from existing plants, facilities, bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure. As-builts are created through a rapid scanning process using Cyrax(R) 3D Laser scanners. Once the scanning is complete, geometrically accurate "point clouds In computer science, a point cloud is a set of three-dimensional points describing the outlines or surface features of an object, such as that produced by a 3D digitizer. " that represent the scanned model are imported into MicroStation. The point cloud file can then be used to derive a vector model, by itself, or in a hybrid dataset with a vector file - much as is the case with raster The horizontal lines (scan lines) displayed on a TV or computer monitor. This is the origin of the term "raster graphics," which is the major category that all bitmapped images and video frames fall into (GIF, JPEG, MPEG, etc.). aerial photography This article or section may contain original research or unverified claims.

Using CloudWorx, Bentley users will now be able to take advantage of rich 3D point clouds directly in Bentley's family of MicroStation products and in third party software based upon MicroStation. "Cloudworx promises to bring significant benefits to our users," said Buddy Cleveland, senior vice president, Bentley Software. "We believe that 3D laser scanning and the resulting rich, dense point clouds represent an important new source of content that will be widely incorporated by our users." CloudWorx 3D point clouds can be used directly, or they may be converted into as-built 2D drawings and 3D models. MicroStation users can use 3D point clouds as a backdrop against which to better design a modification to an existing site or structure or to quickly compare actual construction against original designs. These capabilities enable projects to run more smoothly by eliminating costly construction interferences and fit-up problems. "Cyra is excited to enter into this partnership with Bentley and to further accelerate the market's adoption of 3D point cloud content," said Erwin Frei, Cyra CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and member of Leica Geosystems corporate management team. "Bentley and Leica Geosystems have long worked together in civil engineering and geospatial workflows, and we look forward to building upon that tradition and exploring ways the two companies can further work together." Bentley will ship CloudWorx beginning February 10, 2003.
