Desktop software / PointOffice
From point clouds to measured sections.
Bring LAS data from LiDAR or photogrammetry into PointOffice. Cut sections along a road or through a chosen plane, measure their profiles, and export results for engineering workflows.
LAS / PointOffice
A focused section-measurement workflow
Import and prepare LAS data
Import a point cloud and let PointOffice build an octree for display. Split large files into a chosen grid before import. Inspect points by RGB, intensity, elevation, or classification.
Design the road centerline
Import a road alignment or build it in the element editor. Define horizontal and vertical alignments using straight lines, circular curves, and transition curves. Use the centerline to position cross-sections along the road.
Generate the sections you need
Import a road centerline or enter alignment elements manually. Generate cross-sections at one or several chainages with a chosen slice thickness and section width. Independent vertical and horizontal sections are also supported.
Measure and refine the profile
View the 3D cloud above the section-measurement panel. Add or remove profile points, measure distances, and adjust slice thickness or width to update the section immediately. Apply the edits to save your measurements.
Take the measurements into your next tool.
Export the current section from the measurement panel, or export all measured sections from the project toolbar.
- DXF
- Current section as a DXF polyline.
- DAT
- 3D coordinates of measured section points, for one section or the whole project.
- HDM
- All measured cross-sections in HintCAD format.
- DMX
- Section-center elevations as a HintCAD longitudinal-profile file.
