A collaboration between laser-scanning data capture firms ClearEdge3D and Rithm has resulted in a tool that is able to accurately measure floor flatness while the concrete slab is still wet, allowing pavers to make real-time adjustments.

The team announced the release of the Autodesk Navisworks add-on earlier this year after six months of development work. “We decided to license the IP from [ClearEdge 3D] and build functionality into our platform,” says Phillip Lorenxo, cofounder and chief product developer of StructionSite, which acquired Rithm in 2018. “We always wanted a hardware-neutral platform, a software-neutral platform. Enabling access through Navisworks opens up the doors,” he said in a webinar.
