Creating Optimized TIN Surfaces from Massive Point Clouds

The data just keeps getting larger. With improvements to hardware, it is faster and cheaper to collect massive point clouds of survey data. Hundreds of millions of points, even billions of points in a scan are not uncommon. But what do you do with all this data when you need to create a TIN Surface for use in your Civil Design software? See how BricsCAD can let you intelligently optimize large point cloud data sets to create a TIN Surface that is both accurate and efficient and export it to the Civil Design software of your choice.

ZenTek Consultants, in conjunction with Rick Ellis of BricsCAD, invite you to this free short webinar where we’ll show you how BricsCAD can become your primary Point Cloud control and editing tool that easily integrates with any other civil system you work in. We’ll show you:

• An introduction to TIN Surfaces in BricsCAD
• Attaching a point cloud and controlling display
• Creating an optimized surface from point cloud data
• Densifying areas of the surface
• Exporting the optimized surface to other programs
