This is powerful software that often impresses customers especially when I show off the lidar and the Suns path 2. Aurora is incredibly fast to respond and everyone who responds is actually quite good at their job. 3. The roof modeling AI works for me on the first attempt around 80% of the time and makes it very quick and painless for me to build proposals (you do have to check to make sure the lidar is accurate and often I need to ask for a garage or detached structure to be modeled as well so I have everything prepared before entering a home) 4.
