PFTrack for Architecture & Construction
From Capture to Reconstruction: Spatial Intelligence for Architecture and Construction
Generate precise 3D reconstructions from drone footage, ground-level photography, and LiDAR data. PFTrack’s node-based photogrammetry workflow automates high-volume site documentation with the scripting and pipeline tools that professional AEC teams require.
Key Capabilities for AEC Professionals
Photogrammetry from drone and ground-level imagery
produce dense point clouds and textured 3D meshes from aerial surveys and ground photography.
LiDAR integration
Combine photogrammetric reconstructions with terrestrial or aerial LiDAR scans for comprehensive spatial documentation.
Node-based automation
build repeatable processing pipelines for high-volume site documentation, process hundreds of drone surveys using the same validated workflow.
Python scripting and CLI
Automate photogrammetry jobs, integrate with project management platforms, and embed PFTrack processing into existing AEC pipelines
Flexible export
USD, FBX, OBJ, PLY point clouds, and industry-standard formats for integration with BIM tools, CAD software, and 3D viewers.
Cross-platform deployment
Run on macOS, Windows, or Linux to match your existing IT infrastructure.
AEC Use Cases
Site documentation and progress monitoring
Capture regular drone surveys and process them into 3D models and point clouds. Compare reconstructions over time to monitor progress, detect deviations from plans, and document as-built conditions.
Scan-to-BIM workflows
Generate photogrammetric point clouds and meshes that serve as the basis for Building Information Models. Output integrates with Autodesk Revit, Bentley iTwin, and other BIM platforms via standard formats.
Architectural visualisation
Reconstruct existing buildings and environments in 3D for visualisation, heritage documentation, and planning submissions. Combine photogrammetry with tracked camera data for accurate perspective matching.
Digital twin creation
Build detailed 3D representations of physical assets from visual capture data. PFTrack’s scriptable pipeline enables regular updates as the physical asset changes.
Why PFTrack for Architecture & Construction
Node-based workflow
Complex, branching processing pipelines saved, shared, and reused across projects, essential for firms processing high volumes of survey data.
Tracking and photogrammetry
For video capture projects (drone video surveys, walkthrough documentation), PFTrack produces richer spatial data than photogrammetry alone.
Scriptable automation
Python API and CLI enable integration with existing AEC project management and data processing infrastructure.
Enterprise scalability
PFBucket licence server supports multi-seat deployment across offices and field teams.
PFTrack Studio offers the floating license flexibility and power needed for high-volume architectural visualisation in architecture practices.
