We use PointCab for layout planning of halls and plants. We use it to create 2D ortho photos of point clouds which are used for 3D modeling in Autodesk. Our customers want to get ortho photos, which are true to scale, of layouts and profiles of their scanned properties.
PointCab allows us to combine scan data and CAD data.
In case of playout planning, the advantage is to fit new plants into the existing room – taking account of the existing interfering contours – based on ortho photos and to present the result as 2D or 3D layout.
Contours, which are difficult to detect in point clouds, can be identified and visualized more clearly in ortho photos.
After a short time, our customers get a realistic basis for planning without having to forgo the accuracy of a CAD model. Overall, they save time and costs.

Our fields of work cover nationwide planning focusing on house building and reconstruction as well as buildings for health service. Another important field is documentation of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage, conservation and reconstruction in Afghanistan – We work at the projects Bamiyan, Ghulghula city, Dilkusha palace, Kuti Baghtcha.
In PointCab, we create layouts and sectional views with orthogonal views from 3D scan data and transfer them from PointCab to the CAD system.
