When we zoom into an area of points in AutoCAD, the points disperse. When we zoom into the same area in VirtuSurv, the images stays relatively clear. This truly helps us when we're locating items such as flanges, where we need that accuracy, as we can often see a clearer edge in VirtuSurv than we can in AutoCAD. Let's take a look at how VirtuSurv can help us model. Now I'm going to zoom into this area that we're working in down here, I'm just going to change my view a little bit, now we're going to work on a split screen with this. I'm going to activate VirtuSurv, I'm going to open the piping project that we created, and we're going to work with some of the points in the photograph and transmit them over to AutoCAD so that you can see how this…
