Carlson PointCloud

Field Scan to Finished Plat, with Carlson PointCloud!

This modular program provides this powerful ability, all with seamless integration to Carlson Survey, Carlson Civil and Carlson Mining. Carlson PointCloud delivers a whole new level of powerful automation for large data sets. It gives laser scanner users the ability to process millions of data points with Carlson Software ease-of-use.

Register your scan to local coordinates, filter or decimate the points, overlay photo images in 3D, snap to edges and code the descriptions for automated field-to finish processing of linework and symbols and create contours, profiles, sections, and breaklines. You will be able to read scan data from many instruments, view and process up to 1 billion points, and then perform the Field-to-Finish from the scanned data! This Carlson Software office products allows users to export surface models, points, contours, breaklines and profiles to CAD.

View this previously recorded webinar to learn how to go from start to finished product with Carlson Point Cloud.

Top NEW PointCloud features:

• Import point clouds with up to 1 billion points in them. Carlson PointCloud 2011 uses a new cloud engine that allows ultra large clouds.
• Work with Scan files up to 10 million points.
• Ability to import more cloud formats including Lidar, Leica, Faro, DEM and more.
• Register multiple scans into one cloud.
• Reduce anomalies with tools like Resample Cloud and Clean Cloud.
• Continue data improvement with Smooth Mesh and Simplify Mesh.
• Extract data from clouds or meshes – TINs, Contours, Profiles, Sections and Breaklines – and draw them in CAD design.
• Use the full power of Carlson Field-to-Finish with PointCloud data. You can use the same FLD files you use with GPS or conventional total stations with Symbols, Line Work and Labels all drawn in CAD.

Key Features Built on AutoCAD: Runs in AutoCAD from version 2004 to current version as well as AutoCAD Map, LandDesktop and Civil3D Comes with IntelliCAD built-in   PointCloud Load Surfaces – Imports scan data from various sources View Surface – 3D viewer for point cloud data Scan Utilities – Routines to resample and filter scan data Simplify Mesh – Reduces the size of the model by removing least significant data points Survey PointCloud – Creates points and linework within the 3D pointcloud viewer using Field-To-Finish coding Breaklines – Automatic 3D breakline creation based on surface zomes Profiles, Sections – Trace an alignment across the site and generate profiles or sections Contours – Create contours from the surface model

Movies Carlson Point Cloud: designed for Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers – put all the data collected to use with easy-to-use commands for volumes, surfaces, contours, sections, profiles, field-to-finish.
