Animating Clip Planes on Point Clouds & Models in NUBIGON
Clip animation in NUBIGON enables you to slice dynamically through point clouds and CAD/BIM models to reveal hidden details or focus on specific points of interest. This powerful feature enhances the understanding of complex projects, providing clear insights into external and internal structures.
Point Cloud Clip Animation
Excelsior Measuring uses dynamic point cloud clip animation to open up a residential home like a dollhouse, revealing the scan results of the interior spaces. This method is perfect for multi-layered scans, highlighting key areas of interest within the building.

Point Cloud Clip Animation with CAD Reveal
Franco Lombardi’s clip animation peels back the point cloud of the Villa Santa Christina to unveil the 2D CAD plans beneath. This technique allows viewers to see both the spatial data from the scan and the detailed CAD drawings, offering a comprehensive understanding of the project.

CAD Model Clip Animation
Clip animations can also be applied to CAD models, including 3D face edges. In this demo by Prologue Systems of a school campus project, a clip animation gradually reveals the as-built modeling work, making evaluating the modeling progress and quality easier.
