Powerful Point Mesher Helps Streamline AEC Workflows

Los Angeles, CA (December 1, 2015) -  Thinkbox Software today announced that Sequoia is now available. The powerful standalone point mesher is being demonstrated at the  Autodesk University conference December 1-3, 2015 in Las Vegas, NV in booth #520.

Running on both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms, Sequoia converts point cloud data from laser scanners, photogrammetry, and other sources to geometry quickly and efficiently. Leveraging out-of-core asynchronous parallel processing, Sequoia easily handles large data sets exceeding system memory on a wide range of hardware including tablets, laptops and graphics workstations. Through its native integration with Thinkbox’s Deadline® compute management solution, Sequoia can also perform distributed processing using local network or cloud resources. For enhanced visualizations, 3D meshes can be textured through image projections.

“The reception to Sequoia since we started previewing the technology last year has been tremendous. Our beta testers have been using it in exciting ways we’ve never dreamed, which has pushed us to make Sequoia even better. We’re thrilled to now bring it to market and for architects, designers, engineers and beyond to discover this new faster way of working,” said Chris Bond, founder, Thinkbox Software.

Beta tester Larry Kleinkemper, CTO and Lead Modeler of Lanmar Services, tapped Sequoia for a project documenting buildings for historical reference. He shared, “Sequoia reduced the time it takes to get a model out of a point cloud. Plus, it handled overhangs with no problem, whereas they are too complicated with other auto-extraction programs and we have no choice but to go in and model them manually. With Sequoia, it’s like a whole new way of working.”
