[Bennett and Francis @BFSurveys]

@lidarnews @AutodeskRevit @AutodeskReCap Should also use unified and decimated clouds in Revit - leave the mirror balls for viewing in Recap only. Also use local coordinates, not geodetic. Bigger jobs should be tiled RCS - turn on/off clouds for current work area. While we are at it - #Cloudworx + LGS is worth the $.

[Bennett and Francis @BFSurveys]

@CSIRO Lidar .. intensity colours .. only because we look at point cloud data all day.

[Bennett and Francis @BFSurveys]

@bondbryanBIM Literally re-issuing 200GB of point cloud for the 3rd time, because a client couldn't fudge their 4 or 5 dispare models of buildings on a site. They are realigning from scratch to fit survey (crazy idea!). They have blown a week+ trying to make it work in Revit, BIM360 etc.

[Bennett and Francis @BFSurveys]

@bondbryanBIM A "model location survey" that picks up/installs a few points (ie screws), measures them with GPS, gets it north, truncates the coordinates, picks up a few major walls to ensure a proper orientation, maybe connects to boundaries - is awfully cheap compared to the fudging later.

@GeoscienceAus Hi guys, looks like ELVIS is down? https://t.co/a3Y9UWJ2S5

[Bennett and Francis @BFSurveys]

Laser scan of an underground car park to understand clearances for the volumetric land resumption for @CrossRiverRail - the laser scan and spherical imagery will also form part of any delapidation survey. ~ 200 scans - @LeicaGeosystems #rtc360 #surveying #pointcloud

@toooldforhoste1 @0DanSmith A spinal ..

[Bennett and Francis @BFSurveys]

So @telstra, which of the half dozen or so services that we have would that actually be? Please add an address for this message to be of any use.

[Bennett and Francis @BFSurveys]

@BadBoyofBIM Not up-to-the minute .. but a 4-node storage spaces direct cluster with M60's, 40gbit dual networking, mix of nvme, ssd and spinning, 384gb ram per node. Goes ok.

[Bennett and Francis @BFSurveys]

@BadBoyofBIM Swings and roundabouts. You have roundabouts? Anyway I digress! Virtualised storage, network, ram, processor - has it advantages. Will it beat up-to-the-minute bare metal? No. But when you need to allocate an extra TB here or GB of RAM there, it is sure nice.

Are Non-climb cell towers in your portfolio? This is how @SiteSeeHQ SiteSee #AIAuditEngine can solve the problem

And the very best part of this (subject to testing - not sure how the phone routing might actually behave!) is users won't have Internet while scanning meaning less distractions!

[Bennett and Francis @BFSurveys]

@Paul_HDS Hi Paul, save us looking it up - how does licensing work again - as in the count of devices? We have been using a dedicated ipad for the RTC - but see phones being more popular and more numerous. Was it 5 devices with Field per rego license?

[Bennett and Francis @BFSurveys]

Got around to swapping out a @dell @AlienwareTech M17 R4 battery. It was proper munted. Old vs new.
