POINTCLOUD TO SURFACE SUITE
Surface from Point Cloud Selection: This allows you to draw a selection box around the points of interest then select whether they should be mapped as either a topography, floor or roof element. The section box can be used to filter out points on a broad scale, for specific filtering of points to be added to each new element. Surface from adaptive points: Reads all adaptive points and creates a new topography, floor or roof element mapped to those points. Add Adaptive Points to Existing surface: Reads all adaptive points from your document and adds them to the existing topography, floor or roof element chosen. Wall Tool: Mark out your wall lines with adaptive points that snap to the point cloud then use the wall tool to create straight or curved walls that align to your marks. Model Lines: Mark out your lines with adaptive points that snap to the point cloud & use the Model Lines tool to create straight or Model Lines aligned to your marks. 4 Utilities: Single click buttons to hide/show pointcloud instances, access the graphics setting for point clouds, clear all adaptive points from your document and add adaptive points. 3 Exporters: Write point data to commonly used external files including PTS and CSV from pointcloud selection, and XYZ CSV from adaptive points. 2 Importers: Import saved or selected point data as a floor, roof, topo, or set of adaptive points.
