GRAPHISOFT’s software solution ArchiCAD is architecture software which facilitates the creation and handling of 3D models. Intelligent tools and objects support you during processing a 3D model. With ArchiCAD, you can visualize your virtual model as well as the single planning phases three-dimensionally. Thus, drawing sectional views and other views is unnecessary. Modifications on single structural components impinge on the entire model. Furthermore, you can naturally realize various calculations with the aid of the model.
In order to use your laser scanning data (point clouds) in ArchiCAD, the data must be analyzed previously. For that purpose, our laser scanning software PointCab (www.pointcab-software.com) is suitable. With PointCab, you can quickly and automatically create ortho photos. Then, you can use the ortho photos in ArchiCAD for creating a 3D model.
In our new tutorial on Laser Scanning TV, we show how you can import the PointCab ortho photos in ArchiCAD:
