Create Floor Plans Automatically from 3D Point Clouds [Point-Cab]

SCANable is evaluating this promising new software and will follow-up with an indepth review in the coming days. In the meantime, please feel free to check it out for yourself and leave your input here.

Automatic analysis and interpretation of laser scanning data

• Floor plans, views and sectional views are created at the push of a button.
• Program offers an intuitive user interface (no training required).
• For the first time, results can be processed in almost all CAD programs.
• Visual representations allow a direct use and will dramatically reduce time needed for analysis and modeling.

Point-Cab is the first application that automatically creates―at the push of a button―floor plans and sectional views. The goal of the development team has been to create an extremely user-friendly interface design.

The program creates a visual representation of laser scanning data. The result has much more expressiveness and validity than individual points of point clouds. Images and representations of sections are a prerequisite for an easy modeling in CAD programs.

The program supports most of the common CAD programs and construction tools through standard interfaces. You may use the results in ArchiCAD, Google SketchUp, Revit and other tools.
