Glass and curtain walls define the overall form and the fine details on modern buildings. To have them designed, sized, and accurately installed in accordance with the shop drawings, it is critical to start by obtaining accurate and complete "as-built" information on the structure. 3D metrology solutions provide a powerful solution for capturing the ‘as-built’ 3D information and turning it into 3D and 2D drawings. As a result, material scrap rates will be significantly reduced, and installation time reduced.
3D Metrology Solutions for Glass & Curtain Wall
Glass Design & Installation
Explore our Digital Glass Templating solution: Accurate 3D measurements of “as-built" site conditions using a 3D laser scanner and post-processing the measurements in 3D software generate the exact dimensions of glass panels to fit with the handrails, curtain walls, and other installation areas. Digital Glass Templating provides the following applications:
- 3D measure “as built” site conditions digitally
- Concrete Height
- Channel/Trough
- Pin Standoff Positions
- Glass/Templates Installed
- Create 2D DWG & DXF files for the glass manufacturer

Curtain Wall Design & Installation
Accurate, complete 3D information makes it faster and easier to design, install, and retrofit complex curtain walls:
- 3D measure “as built” site conditions digitally
- Any deviation or deflection in concrete slab edge & thickness
- Installed embed & anchor locations
- Verify rough opening and frame sizes
- Any deviation or deflection in concrete slab edge & thickness
- Create 2D DWG & DXF files for the manufacture
- Utilize "as-built" 3D data captured from site and architectural drawings to create 3D CAD file of the installation area
- Verify current site conditions match shop drawings to avoid revisions and any project delays
- Create an 'as built' digital twin as the project progresses
