PointCab and HHK GEOgraf

You achieve an effective workflow when you preprocess your desired results in PointCab.

[1] – [2] With PointCab, you create true-to-deformation plans, layouts, sections, views, meshes, DTMs, vector drawings and other more easily and quickly as in your CAD system. Then, you can use the results in your CAD system thanks to the universal DWG format.

[3] Due to PointCab, you can easily and quickly work with Allplan, even with huge point clouds. By generating plans and sectional views as ortho photos, you transfer only the information that is relevant for modeling.

[4] With PointCab, you can “adjust” your point cloud for Allplan. You can just extract the desired areas of the point cloud or single 3D points and reduce data volume extremely while maintaining the desired accuracy.

Import PointCab results in GEOgraf

In this video, we show how to import PointCab results in GEOgraf. It is important to activate the option World file. With PointCab, you can use data of your laser scanner, such as TX5, in GEOgraf.

You can easily import PointCab orthophotos, which have been created with Layout and Section Module, in HHK GEOgraf. It is important to activate the option World file in PointCab.

With PointCab 3D-Pro version, you can quickly create a digital terrain model (DTM). However, you can mesh facades, document deviations of the facade or the floor unevenness, too.
In this video, we import a terrain model in GEOgraf. The model has been extracted from the point cloud with PointCab. Furthermore, we create height and profile lines.

Use height and surface points from the point cloud in GEOgraf

With our 3D-Pro verison, you can easily extract height points, surface points, facade points and poly lines. Due to the DWG or DXF interface, you can easily import the data.
