Better workflow compatibility for the GLS-2000
With the latest version of Autodesk ReCap, the GLS-2000 pairs with Topcon ScanMaster software to collect, process, edit and deliver 3D point cloud data from a laser scanner.
ReCap allows users to perform tasks such as scan conversion, editing and viewing point cloud data. It also provides integration with Autodesk’s portfolio of design software.
Autodesk ReCap and ReCap 360 have the new capability to read the Topcon CL3 format as a scan file in addition to a standard point cloud. The scan file allows the use of individual scan positions for registration workflows.
“File conversion is no longer necessary,” said Ray Kerwin, director of Topcon’s global surveying products. “Exporting can be done straight out of scan position. Users ultimately get a more streamlined workflow, more data detail and increased access to the point cloud. With individual scan positions it is possible to generate RealViews that offer a web-viewing output.”
Integration is available for versions including Autodesk ReCap, ReCap 360 and ReCap 360 Ultimate software.
