It is a Labs project, i.e. it is not ready for full production use but we want your feedback.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have been looking at this over the past couple of months as it came together and trying out a number of datasets which my friends at Leica, Faro and Topcon have supplied to me. Big thanks to them for their time and use of their kit. <\/p>\n AutoCAD Civil 3D has the the fullest connection to point clouds in the Autodesk range and can support many industry file formats.<\/p>\n Here is a sample of point clouds from those equipment manufacturers.<\/p>\n NOTE: These samples were done not necessarily for production use and quality can depend on the extra time used to scan for longer, more setups etc.<\/p>\n Leica<\/strong><\/p>\n Tricky thing with this one was a line of parked cars along the road edge, the scan was shot from the park on the left side with only a couple of setups<\/p>\n <\/a> Using the Labs tool to ground filter and create a surface<\/p>\n Nice and clean surface without cars in the way.<\/p>\n Faro<\/strong><\/p>\n This one shows up better in grey scale<\/p>\n Result after the ground filter tool and surface created<\/p>\n Topcon <\/strong><\/p>\n This one has been done using their mobile scanner on a motorway, which is really the best way to scan without possession or traffic management in place.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Passing traffic, street lighting etc all removed after using the ground filter tool<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Please give it a try and feedback via the Labs site.<\/p>\n Jack Strongitharm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you keep an eye out on the Labs site you will have noticed that we have released a tool which can classify, create a Civil 3D ground surface and also extract linework.<\/p>\n http:\/\/labs.autodesk.com\/utilities\/civil3d_pointcloud<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/p>\n
