What’s New in EdgeWise 5.7?
The latest EdgeWise release by ClearEdge3D brings innovation to scan-to-BIM modeling in construction, enabling automated as-built pipe modeling using mobile and unified scan data
The ClearEdge3D development team has spent the last several months fine-tuning a new EdgeWise algorithm that will empower you to extract pipes from SLAM-based and unified data, and even manually clipped terrestrial data sets.
Today, we’re excited to announce that the new functionality is available to you in EdgeWise version 5.7!
Why is this a big deal for you?
EdgeWise 5.7 can handle new types of scan data to create an even more streamlined scan- to- BIM workflow!
Now, you can leverage mobile scanners to expedite data collection, then import your point cloud into EdgeWise and use its automated and semi-automated modeling tools to speed up work in the office. This will give you a massive head start on generating your high-quality project deliverables.
The new algorithm also works with manually clipped terrestrial data sets. That means no more running your entire point cloud through the software. In version 5.7, you can remove insignificant data and model only the necessary sections of a project. That saves processing and transfer time, storage space, and clean-up time in your downstream applications — ultimately improving your bottom line.

What is EdgeWise?
EdgeWise, the industry’s leading automated as-built modeling tool, has saved countless hours of modeling time. Since the first release of EdgeWise in 2008, users have imported millions of terabytes of LiDAR scan data into the platform, which automatically finds and extracts as-built pipes, structural elements, ducts, walls, conduit, and cable trays.
With each release, ClearEdge3D has improved the speed and accuracy of EdgeWise’s advanced computer vision algorithms and semi-automated modeling tools. Our goal is to provide you with massive time savings in the modeling stage. With EdgeWise 5.7, we worked to unlock time savings at other steps in your scan– to– BIM workflow by expanding the types of data you can use.
With EdgeWise 5.7, the time savings are obvious. But what you’ll do with all that spare time might not be. So, here are a few ideas:
- Brush up on your Irish step dancing
- Take up and quit a new hobby
- Return to nature and expunge yourself from societal pressures
- Adopt and train an orangutan to model in EdgeWise for you
- Finally learn how to cook for yourself
- Clean your kitchen
