Efficient processing of point clouds in Tenado – A workflow for precise digital planning
In an increasingly digital world, it's more important than ever for planners, designers, and architects to master modern technologies for capturing, analyzing, and leveraging spatial data. Tenado, an innovative CAD software solution, enables professionals to work with highly detailed point cloud data captured by 3D laser scanners. This article explores the process from scanning to processing in FARO Scene to seamless integration with Tenado for seamless planning and construction.
Point clouds - The digital representation of reality. Point clouds are the result of the three-dimensional capture of physical environments using laser scanning technology. They represent a collection of millions of measurement points that, together, create a highly accurate representation of the scanned objects and spaces. A 3D laser scanner like the FARO Focus Premium enables such precise capture, which forms the basis for further processing and analysis.

FARO Scene - The First Station in Data Processing After the environment has been scanned, the raw data processing begins in FARO Scene. This software allows the collected point cloud data to be optimized for further use by cleaning, organizing, and enriching it. Scene also serves to define specific sections of the point cloud that are relevant for planning purposes.
The Bridge to CAD with As-Built Modeller. Processing in FARO Scene is only one part of the overall process. To use the data in the Tenado planning software, a connection must be established between the point clouds and the CAD environment. This is where FARO As-Built Modeller comes in. It's a tool that allows the processed point cloud data to be imported directly into Tenado.

'Send to Tenado' – Die Direkte Übertragung Eine der stärksten Funktionen des As-Built Modellers ist die 'Send to Tenado'-Funktion. Mit dieser können Benutzer die Punktwolkendaten direkt aus Scene an Tenado übermitteln. Dies ermöglicht eine nahtlose und effiziente Übertragung, die das Erstellen von generischen Modellen und das Platzieren von spezifischen Bau- oder Planungselementen vereinfacht.
​
Schnittführung - Vom 3D-Scan zum 2D-Plan Eine weitere leistungsfähige Funktion in Scene ist die Möglichkeit, Schnitte aus der Punktwolke zu exportieren. Diese Schnitte können direkt in 2D-Pläne umgesetzt und in Tenado geladen werden. Auf diese Weise können Anwender sowohl im großräumigen 3D-Kontext arbeiten, als auch präzise 2D-Pläne aus den 3D-Daten ableiten.

Tenado offers a powerful platform for working with point cloud data, specifically designed for users in engineering, planning, and architecture. The workflow, which begins with capture using a 3D laser scanner, continues with processing in FARO Scene, and ends with final integration in Tenado, ensures that professionals can achieve the best results from their digital data. With the ability to seamlessly integrate point cloud data into Tenado CAD software, planning processes are significantly optimized and the accuracy of digital models is ensured. The combination of FARO's advanced technologies and Tenado's specialized tools creates a powerful synergy that forms the basis for future-oriented design and planning solutions.
