The biggest problem with developing plans through hand drawn sketches, is recording measurements incorrectly. The only time this will be picked up is when the plans are inputted into CAD. By this time it could be too late to re-measure or very costly to correct.
Therefore there is a growing requirement amongst architects and surveyors, to develop buildings plans digitally in real time. Not just taking a laptop with AutoCAD onsite, but also integrating a laser measuring instrument.
Leica DISTO D3a BT
Leica DISTO D3a BT is the perfect instrument for measuring and developing internal building plans in real time direct to CAD software.
Bluetooth
With integrated Bluetooth technology, measurement results are accurately transferred via wireless to a computer. Distances and angles can be transferred from the Leica DISTO D3a BT to a PC (Notebook, Tablet PC, UMPC) or Pocket PC.
Free software
With the free Leica DISTO transfer software, the Leica DISTO D3a BT can be integrated into any software like Excel, Word or CAD. Supplied with the instrument, the free AutoCAD plug-in allows you to transfer the data directly into the program so you can make the drawing just on the jobsite.
The Leica DISTO D3a BT with its navigation keys will allow most of the control from itself.
Please note that you can choose whether you want to transfer all data or the result only.
Precision at the torch of a button
The Leica DISTO D3a BT features a measuring accuracy of ±1mm with an enhanced measuring range of 100m. The Power Range Technology boosts the measuring performance, allowing long range measurements to be taken.
Tilt Sensor
The instrument's inbuilt tilt sensor quickly and simply determines tilts up to ± 45°. This will allow you to measure the angle of a slope or the angle of a corner in a room.
Smart Horizontal Mode
Thanks to the combination of distance and tilt measurements you can determine the precise horizontal distance and indirect height. This is ideal if you need to know the height of roof beams or light fixtures from the floor, for the size of scaffold or access platform required to carryout maintenance.
