Professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction requiring a tool to integrate point cloud data into their CAD and BIM workflows
About PointCab Origins
PointCab Origins is your Swiss Army Knife for the evaluation of point cloud data, no matter from which laser scanner, and compatible with all CAD and BIM systems. From point cloud registration to the creation of vector lines and the transfer of your results into your CAD system, Origins offers you the perfect point cloud workflow. Origins automatically create a front, side, and top view (orthophotos) from the point cloud. Intuitive and easy to work with. Create floor plans & sections or measure areas, distances, volumes, and much more with just a few clicks. Even if you have little experience with point clouds, Origins is very intuitive to work with. Plus, our 2-minute tutorials will get you started in no time. Whether it's drones, terrestrial, or SLAM laser scanners, PointCab Origins processes all data. Of course, merging different point cloud data is no problem as well. PointCab Origns offers pro functions that meet sophisticated needs and use cases.
