PointCab
The easiest way from point cloud to plan and 3D model.
Overview
PointCab is a software solution that simplifies the processing and analysis of point cloud data. It is designed to be user-friendly and to quickly generate 2D plans, elevations, and 3D models from scan data, which can then be used in various CAD systems.
✨ Key Features
- Automated creation of 2D layouts and sections
- Vectorization of floor plans
- Web-based viewer for sharing results
- Direct integration with various CAD systems
- Modular software structure
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Focus on speed and ease of use for creating 2D deliverables.
- Broad compatibility with many different CAD systems.
- Hardware-agnostic.
Unique Value: Significantly accelerates the creation of 2D documentation from 3D point clouds, providing a fast and easy workflow for CAD users.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Quickly generating 2D floor plans from a 3D point cloud for use in AutoCAD.
- Creating sections and elevations for as-built documentation.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Complex point cloud registration (often requires a separate tool).
- Advanced 3D modeling of complex, non-rectilinear shapes.
🏆 Alternatives
Much faster for generating 2D plans and sections compared to using full 3D modeling software for the same task.
