3 major features to discover

#1: Generating Digital Surface Models in a few clicks!

Our new feature allows you to generate the mesh of 3D models’ surfaces with only one tool. You can choose among three different predefined grid sizes to apply to your model: a larger one will deliver quick results, whereas a smaller will deliver more detailed meshes. You can also define the grid size with your own parameters, to get a personalized result. 

#2: Classifying the point cloud of a building: between walls or floors

In order to help you save time, we developed a tool that allows you to automatically classify points corresponding to the walls and floors of your 3D models. This novelty will make the point cloud’s cleaning or the creation of a 2D building’s plane preview easier for you.

#3: Unrolling polylines in a 2D plane, easing transition from 3D to 2D!

Do you often need to visualize some polylines on a 2D plane? The new feature we developed allows you to unroll one or several polylines according to an axis. This tool will help you to extract 2D information from 3D data, for instance, you will easily generate a longitudinal profile. 

New improvements and formats! 

You can now directly import data from scanner Leica BLK 360 to the 3DReshaper’s software. This feature is targeting applications with limited number of scans.

We also added three new formats: import files from .LGS (Leica) or .rdbx (Riegl) and export clouds to the .e57 format.
