Plugins - CloudCompareWiki From CloudCompareWiki From point cloud to BIM Survey software provider Kubit, recently acquired by Faro, goes back to basics with its analysis of the implications and ways of surveyed data capture Figuire 1 Point cloud as reference model: 3D view (left), planar view of the point cloud region (upper right) and the resulting 3D model (lower right) Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology is increasingly penetrating into building design. The point cloud as reference model First it is necessary to transfer the original survey data into the required BIM system. Besides the spatial display of the whole point cloud it is also additionally possible to use the scan view of the individual scans for modelling. In the scan view all of the surveyed points from a single scanner set up can be displayed in a photo-like panorama view.

kubit Dresden, Software for Surveying, Construction and Architecture MeshLab ClearEdge 3D - The Leader in Automated Feature Extraction for AEC Laser scanners : Reconstructor To make more effective the use of the x300, Stonex, has developed a powerful and flexible software called Stonex Reconstructor. The Stonex Reconstructor software is based on the well known JRC 3D Reconstructor ® technology. JRC 3D Reconstructor® is a software package worldwide appreciated for 3D laser scanner data processing in several application fields. Description The software – engineered and powered by Gexcel srl, under Stonex requirements - comes from the convergence of two experiences: the academic know-how of University studies and the applied research achievements of the European Joint Research Centre (JRC), located in Ispra (Italy). The software aim is to turn the latest scientific achievements in the Geomatics field into an hi-tech software for wide application areas. Survey moduleThe fitting solution to capture, process and analyze 3D data of artefacts acquired with X300 scanner.
