Smart Points

You can export the points associated with the items within Verity to a PTS file. This report will follow the what you see is what you get (WYSIWIG) and any points or heatmaps visible on your screen will export to the PTS.

There are two options for export:

• Merged will save a single, unified PTS file in the selected location that contains the points associated to all the selected items in the Verity Table. This file will match the coordinate system from the host.
• Per Item will save mutiple PTS files in the selected location. Each file will contain the points associated to a single selected item in the Verity Table. These files will also match the coordinate system from the host.

Smart Points is an excellent tool for resolving issues where the as-built models need updating to reflect field conditions as you’re reducing the point cloud down to just the elements that need updating. This makes it simple for CAD/BIM operators to know what to fix.

For example, if you want to export JUST the as-built heatmap points for out of tolerance items you’d need to set the heatmap to AsBuilt, turn off the points in the Visibility section so that the surrounding points are turned off, select all the Out of Tolerance items in the table, and THEN export Smart Points.
