Some of you might have noticed that the surface from point cloud feature had disappeared in the original release of the 2015 version of Civil 3D.<\/p>\n

Well for good reason.<\/p>\n

So this extension has been posted on the subscription centre for a couple of weeks, but thought I would make a quick video to show you how it works.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Topcon for the supply of the point cloud from their IPS2 mobile mapper solution which I had indexed in our Recap technology and comes in directly into AutoCAD.<\/p>\n

The Recap point cloud can be consistently controlled and accessed through AutoCAD Civil 3D for this technique.<\/p>\n

Currently limited to only extracting 800,000 points to a surface by filtering out non ground points is making point clouds now useable beyond just viewing to a huge user base.<\/p>\n

Think of maintenance, widening etc to capture all the defects in the existing surface is much easier than just traditional survey.<\/p>\n

Depending on your equipment used to capture the data, the time can be reduced to how long it takes to drive the route<\/p>\n
