The full range of functions of the PointCab Origins Pro version and our plug-ins is available to you.

WHAT IS POINTCAB ORIGINS?

PointCab Origins is your Swiss army knife when it comes to the evaluation of point cloud data – working with all laser scanners and compatible with all CAD and BIM systems.

No labourious navigating in the point cloud

PointCab Origins automatically creates a front, side, and top view (ortho photos) from the point cloud. Inuitive and easy to work with.

The perfect tool for professionals

Although suitable for beginners and easy to use, PointCab Origins offers pro functions that meet sophisticated needs and use cases.

Compatible with all CAD systems

Need a 3D model from the point cloud? No problem! Import all 3D information easily into your desired CAD system.

All point clouds, one software

Whether drones, terrestrial or SLAM laser scanners - PointCab Origins processes all data. Of course, merging different point cloud data is no problem as well.

Digital measurements in the blink of an eye

Create floor plans & sections and measure areas, distances, volumes, and much more with just a few clicks.

The perfect tool for beginners

Even if you have little experience with point clouds, the intuitive handling of PointCab Origins ensures you get started in no time.

WHAT'S POINTCAB ACADEMIC?

PointCab Academic corresponds to the range of functions of the Origins Pro version of PointCab.
Here you can find all modules in an overview:

Schnitte

LAYOUTS & SECTIONS

Create floor plans and sections from your point cloud data in no time and with just a few clicks – including difference comparison and analysis, of course, and coloured if desired.

SKETCH

Measure areas, distances, 3D points, and angles. Staple photos and texts to specific parts of the point cloud or examine the point cloud more closely in the automatically created panoramic views.

ALIGN PROJECT

It is not uncommon to receive point cloud data not aligned the way you would need it for further processing. With our “Align Project” tool you can precisely align your data the way you want.

MERGER

Easily create positionally correct plans from your results. The created plans are scaled and have an attached coordinate file. This way you file your plans without losing the context of the object.

Web_Export

WEB EXPORT

Pass on your results quickly and easily as a .html or PDF file with our Web Export. Of course, branded in your individual company design for a professional presentation of the data.

TRANSFORMATION CALCULATOR

Connect two projects in one coordinate system, georeference your project, or display the difference between an older and the current 3D data in one project.

REGISTRATION

With our point cloud registration, you can register point cloud data using targets, natural points, or via planes.

VECTORIZER

Thanks to the Semi-automatic Vectorizer, your sections, and floor plans almost vectorize themselves!

POINT CLOUD EXPORT

Export entire point clouds or even partial sections to the desired file format. Multiple conversions are no longer necessary!

blank

MESH

Quickly create triangle-meshed digital terrain models and export them in the format you need.

blank

VOLUMES

Fast volume determination is no longer a problem with this module. All international units available!

blank

SPACE WARP

No matter if polygonal, cylindrical or curved objects, everything goes with our Space Wrap Tool!

CAD AND BIM PLUGINS

Origins is compatible with all commonly used CAD software. You can easily export your results as DWG, DFX, or other CAD file formats and thus seamlessly process them further in your CAD software.

For those who wish for an even faster workflow, our plugins present the perfect solution. With our CAD plugins, your point cloud data is translated from Origins directly into CAD objects in your CAD software.

We offer point cloud plugins for the following software:
