Jointly Rendering Point Clouds & CAD with NUBIGON
Jointly rendering point clouds and CAD models is essential for effectively showcasing project deliverables. Whether modeling 2D CAD plans, 3D CAD models, road and rail features, or topographic models, NUBIGON offers a powerful solution to combine them with point clouds. Clip and object animations further enhance communication, helping present project results clearly to clients and stakeholders.
Combining Point Clouds & 2D CAD Models
MaxVision’s residential building survey integrates 2D floor and facade plans within the point cloud, with X-ray rendering enhancing the plans' visibility. This showcases the as-built modeling process, blending precision CAD work with point cloud data.
