Scanning Software
  
In the simplest case, if you request an extracted linework DXF or DWG, then you do not require anything other than your standard CAD program. We can even supply you with a 3D animation of the dataset free of charge that will run on any PC or Mac.

Viewing only:

Free scan data viewers are available to visualise the data and make simple queries:
  • Cyclone viewer from Leica Geosystems.
  • Pointools view from Pointools

Data manipulation:

  • Pointools – 3d model and drawing visualisation and animation package. Great for presentations and simple data extraction
  • AutoCAD (Full version) – with the ‘Cloudworx’ plugin
  • Microstation – with the Cloudworx’ plugin
  • Rhino – with a pointools plug-in for full 3D wireframe and modelling capability
Other programs available with plug-ins for Google Sketchup are expected to be available early in 2008

Again, we are happy to provide advice on the best solution to meet your needs and level of CAD knowledge required.
