Run a Point Cloud Analysis (beta)

The flatness and levelness of floors and ceilings, as well as plumbness of walls or any other surfaces can easily be evaluated and visualized using this new point cloud analysis tool.

To create an analysis:

1. Click the icon in the toolbar on the right side when a point cloud is active in the scene.​

The cursor changes to a crosshairs.
​

2. Click to create a polygon of the area you want to analyze.

This initiates the analysis.

3. Optional: make further settings in the analysis toolbar, see explanations below.

4. To save the analysis in the project permanently, click the icon in the analysis toolbar.

When you close the toolbar, the analysis is no longer displayed on the point cloud. You can display it by clicking the icon in the point cloud.

You can make further settings in the analysis toolbar. After opening the toolbar, only the color scale as well as the elevation is displayed.

Click the triangle icon to open the analysis options.

Reference Plane: Clicking the eye icon will show or hide the reference plane. You can set the reference plane orientation by selecting which points you want to compare to the reference plane, see .

Shows the current elevation of the reference plane. If you have selected Elevation under , you can edit the elevation here.

Change the color scale. The color scale compares the points with a reference plane, see below. Then it colors each point with its deviation to the reference plane.

Allows adding labels showing the deviation from the reference plane. Note this is only possible after you have saved the analysis. To add a label, click the icon in the toolbar, then click the positions where you want to add a deviation label. To delete a label, right-click it, then select Delete.

When the analysis is not yet saved, the icon is displayed allowing to save the analysis. If the analysis is saved, the icon is displayed allowing to share the analysis via link, see more detailed explanation under .

The options in the three-dots menu differ depending on whether the toolbar is collapsed or expanded.
