Carlson Software’s revolutionary Precision 3D platform combines the easy and delight of a completely 3D environment with the rigor and precision of sophisticated engineering tools. Much more than 3D just as a visualization tool, the software utilizes the newest technologies to allow users to easily combine data from a wide variety of sources to create high fidelity 3D surfaces (P3D Topo) and hydrology-related deliverables (P3D Hydro).
Powerful Surface Tools:
- Surface Creation:
- Create surfaces from point cloud data
- No reduction for highest resolution
- Grid Reduction for faster loading of large surfaces
- Simplification
- Create surfaces from imported points and polylines
- Add points and breakline polylines to existing surfaces
- Crop and merge surfaces
- Surface Editing:
- Real-time surface editing with dynamic contours
- Unified calculate volumes command and includes new surface to surface volumes
- Surfaces created or used as top surface display cut/fill volumes in properties window
- Add/remove points
- Add breaklines
- Swap triangle edges
- Remove triangles
- Edit point elevation
- Set point elevation from slope
- Surface smoothing
- Improve ridges and valleys
- Remove dimples (small shallow spots)
- Create PAD template surfaces for cut and fill
- Simple texturing using polylines
- Crop surfaces to polyline
- Merge Surface
Powerful Point Cloud Tools:
- Remove trees, vegetation, cars, building using bare ground filter
- Apply bareground filter and all other filters within polygon boundaries
- Point Cloud point selector tool for delete and crop, with the ability to create a new cloud from the selection
- Copy pointcloud regions inside polygons
- Save pointcloud to LAS/LAZ version 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 including coordinate projection WKT
- Uses multiple CPU cores for faster performance
- Merge multiple pointclouds together
- Crop pointclouds
- Delete pointcloud points
- Crop/delete points using polygons
- Reduce points using smart voxel grid, outlier and shadow points filters
