• Exporting POD files from Trimble RealWorks

    Paul Carroll

    Hello, I use RealWorks from processing point clouds from Trimble scanners and have been trying to find some way to carry the cloud classification into the exported POD file for use with Descartes and Pointools. RealWorks doesn't allow any formatting…

    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…

    Hi everyone, I've tried to drape a line element on a point cloud of a scanned cavity (see picture below) to generate a section through the cloud. Is there a way to avoid these spikes (red circle in the picture) by chosing something like a maximum distance…

    We have been looking at hardware specifications for use with Pointools (and probably Descartes SS4) processing large LiDAR surveys of buildings, but appropriate (as opposed to minimum) hardware specifications seem to be thin on the ground. The best…
