Pointools Plug-in for AutoCAD
Work with huge point clouds in AutoCAD with speed and flexibility.
3D Model Aggregation
• View point clouds, 3D models, & 2D drawings together
Large Point Cloud Support
• Handles large datasets with billions of points
• Manage scene parameters interactively
• Load and unload POD models fast
High Performance Graphics
• Multi-threaded for high-performance display
• Uses high-density, low decimation Vortex display engine
• Stream point cloud model display in real time
• Control point cloud density with interactive slider
Data Interoperability
• Store points in POD models for broad reuse
• Create POD models from large range of scanners incl: Faro, TopCon, Leica, Optech, Riegl, Trimble, Z+F
• Supported scan data formats include: Ascii XYZ/TXT, FLS/FWS, LAS, PTX/PTS/PTZ/PTG, IXF, 3DD/RSP/RXP/RDP, CL3, Terrascan BIN, Kubit PTC
• Integration with 2007 - 2012 Autodesk apps incl: AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Architecture, Map 3D, Land Desktop
• Integration with broad portfolio of Bentley apps incl: MicroStation, OpenPlant, InRoads, RailTrack, GEOPAK, Bentley Map, Navigator
• Integration with Rhino + Google SketchUp
• Create multiple sections through point cloud models
• Edit section cut plane and depth dynamically
• Align drawing plane with section cut plane
• Move section cut plane along a curve
• Filter point cloud model view by region
• Edit section cut plane and depth dynamically
• Align drawing plane with section cut plane
• Move section cut plane along a curve
• Filter point cloud model view by region
• Shade points by intensity and RGB colour
Georeference Support
• Works across all Pointools enabled applications
• Measurements via point to point or single point
• Extract 2D lines, circles, and arcs by drawing on a plane
• Fit a cylinder to selected points for pipe modelling
• Fit a 3D plane to selected points
• Interactively recolour points
• Change colour by hue/saturation or brightness/contrast
• Fast point cloud selection tools including 3D brush
• Select and hide points by regions or colour
• Layer + grid segmentation + density control
• Export layers or point selection to create new POD model
