LAYOUT & SECTIONS

Thanks to our Layout & Section module, it has never been easier to obtain fast and precise results from the point cloud – colored if required and including difference comparison and analysis.

In the tutorials below, we explain how you too can create your first-floor plan with just a few clicks. Of course, the quickest way to learn is to work directly with the software.

LAYOUT & SECTIONS – AN OVERVIEW

Before you create your first layout or section with Origins, we would like to give you an overview of what the module has in store for you:

TUTORIALS

CREATE YOUR FIRST LAYOUT

Get a layout from your point cloud as you need it.
Create a floor plan in our intuitive front or side view with just a few clicks.

CREATE YOUR FIRST SECTION

Create vertical sections of facades or cross-sections through your project in no time.

CREATE MULTIPLE SECTIONS AT ONCE

In many cases, you need to create more than one layout or section, especially if your project has more than one floor. In Origins you can do this in one go. Keep the same settings and dimensions of your original section by creating duplicates.

ELEVATION MODEL

With the creation of sections and floor plans, the unwinding of irregular structures, and the calculation of deviations from a reference plane, an elevation model is automatically created in the background. Let’s take a closer look at how this works.

EXPORT LAYOUTS & SECTIONS FOR CAD

Origins results are compatible with all common CAD systems. You can directly adjust the background and other settings to suit your needs. In our PDF tutorial, we show you how to prepare your Origins results so you can start drawing right away in your CAD system.

SHEETS FOR LAYOUTS & SECTIONS

So far we have shown you how to duplicate floor plans and sections with the same settings but at different positions. What if we could export ortho photos with different settings in just one step? Since the release of Origins 4.0 it is possible to calculate a greyscale ortho photo, an intensity ortho photo, a color ortho photo, an index, and a delta to a specific layer – all with just one click.

DELTA

With the Delta tool, you can easily create difference comparisons and analyses of your laser scan data.

Create step-by-step difference comparisons and visualize or log deviations on horizontal and vertical planes such as ground surfaces or facades.
