• Pointools V8i - Cloud disappears when the camera gets close

    When I'm viewing my attached POD's, the point cloud disappears when I approach it in the viewport. It appears to be a spherical distance from the point of view of the camera/viewport. I want to create an animation with a very close flyby of small grouping…

  • Creating Section Cuts for Sheets

    So I have a new question... I have a point cloud of a tunnel and I would like to create section cuts through the point cloud at 6 inch increments to verify the tunnel is in "good shape" and there are no anomalies throughout. Also I believe this information…
  • Texture missing after OBJ-file import

    Hi all I have a 3D-model as OBJ-file, with corresponding mtl-file and jpg-file in the same folder. When I attach it in Bentley Pointools the model appears without texture. Does anybody know how I get the texture on the model within Pointools? I tried…
  • What PointCloud Tools Supports Difference Testing against a Reference model

    Is there a piece of Bentley tool that supports difference testing from point cloud against a reference model which outputs color shaded views and plots: Something similar to InRoads ISOPACH Surface! see: This is a link to an german institute person…
  • Point Cloud Presentation

    Ok, What is the trick to this? Nothing seems to change when I change the presentation style. I am currently working with STM.dgn which is the example drawing for the eLearn training Bentley Descartes for 3D modeling..point cloud is white, no matter which…
  • Reducing density of points from a POD as imported in microestation.

    We are trying to generate solids in a dgn file to work in microestation from a POD file via importing the cloud and using the xyz coordinates tool to import the points before creating a mesh by point, we want to reduce the density of the points to say…
  • RE: Point Clouds for a newbie

    You can use Descartes "Smart Snap" to select the highest point along the top of rail to trace the rails or the 3D line follow tool if you have intensities to your point cloud. This will give you a rough horizontal alignment. fyi- InRoads ss3 has a …

  • What is the best way to model concrete walls with point clouds?

    I must model concrete walls using scan data. The tolerances on a project are very tight and the dimensions need to be within a 16th of an inch accuracy if at all possible. What is the best way to model walls using point cloud data? Thank You!
  • Creating mesh with breaklines/shapes

    Heya, I've been able to model ends and cross-sections of a slightly 'off' concrete cylinder. I'ts a big water tank, and I've also drawn doors and trap doors. I've figured out how to connect the ends with the cross-sections and get a decent mesh, by…
  • Newbie needs help, from point cloud to finished 3d model

    Heya, I'd like to first introduce myself: I'm Jacob Collstrup and I'm a surveyor from Denmark. I just got my first job after graduating. My job is to take point clouds into Microstation v8i Descartes SELECTSeries 3 and then model them. This is…
