CloudWorx EN

Leica CloudWorx is an application that integrates with BricsCAD® to streamline the processing and analysis of point clouds. It allows users to efficiently work with large point clouds directly in BricsCAD®, using both native CAD tools and CloudWorx-specific commands.

Easy to integrate and learn, CloudWorx — together with Leica JetStream — enables global project collaboration and eliminates inefficiencies.

CloudWorx enables users to work directly with laser scan data in BricsCAD®, simplifying visualization and modeling via Leica Cyclone or JetStream. When used with CADWorx® Plant Professional, it allows for the creation of accurate 3D models of piping, equipment, and structures from point clouds—ideal for industrial revamp projects. Automated workflows like line creation and flatness analysis reduce project turnaround time.

CloudWorx is ideal for architects, EPC companies, plant owners and operators, AEC construction firms, and service providers involved in laser scanning and as-built modeling.
