Hi All,
Happy new year
I have just received point cloud data from surveyors for a complex rail infrastructure. I need to urgently convert this point cloud to AEC solids in its entirety
I specifically need video tutorials links from the learn server or SIG demonstrating how to simply create AEC/AECOsim solids from point cloud.
I would really appreciate these links if you have stumbled on anyone in the past
Thank you
Hi Henry,
If you have a licence available you can use ContextCapture to convert point clouds to meshed surfaces, but conversion to solids is a largely manual activity.
There are some third-party applications that can apply AI to point clouds in some specific cases.
I see that you have also asked this question on the Reality Modelling forum, our team there may be able to advise further.
Marc
Hi Marc
Happy new year to you.
Ok no worries. Well noted
Meanwhile, have you stumbled on any context capture learn video tutorials that specifically demonstrate this conversion you have hinted?
Many thanks
contextcapture point cloud - YouTube has a few potentially useful results.
Mesh quality from Contextcapture will be quite low if point cloud data doesn't have each scan location. How was the data acquired? Is it from LIDAR or photogrammetry?
Oh I see. it was from LIDAR
Marc has suggested above there are third-party applications that can apply AI to point clouds. anyone you can recommend?
