Description

PointCab Origins Modules

- Layouts & Sections: Create floor plans and sections from your point cloud data in no time and with just a few clicks.

- Sketch: Measure areas, distances, 3D points, and angles. Staple photos and texts to specific parts of the point cloud or examine the point cloud more closely in the automatically created panoramic views.

- Align project: It is not uncommon to receive point cloud data not aligned the way you would need it for further processing. With our “Align Project” tool you can precisely align your data the way you want.

- Merger: Easily create positionally correct plans from your results. The created plans are scaled and have an attached coordinate file. This way you file your plans without losing the context of the object.

- Web Export: Pass on your results quickly and easily as a .html or PDF file with our Web Export. Of course, branded in your individual company design for a professional presentation of the data.

- Transformation Calculator: Connect two projects in one coordinate system, georeference your project, or display the difference between an older and the current 3D data in one project.
