Description

PointCab Origins Pro 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.

- Point Cloud Registration: With our point cloud registration, you can register point cloud data using targets, natural points, or via planes.

- Vectorizer: Thanks to the Semi-automatic Vectorizer, your sections, and floor plans almost vectorize themselves! 

- Point Cloud Export: Export entire point clouds or even partial sections to the desired file format. Multiple conversions are no longer necessary!

- Mesh: Quickly create triangle-meshed digital terrain models and export them in the format you need.

- Volumes: Fast volume determination is no longer a problem with this module. All international units are available!

-Space Warp: No matter if polygonal, cylindrical or curved objects, everything goes with our Space Wrap Tool!
