Point clouds are more than just dots in space. They represent existing walls, doors, pipes, ground surfaces and so much more. They represent millions and millions of individual pieces of information. And because of this, their file size can be enormous and often difficult to work with. But it doesn't have to be that way. This class will demonstrate ways that you can take advantage of the new scan-to-mesh and publish features in ReCap Pro to share, view, comment, and collaborate on your point clouds. We'll also look at ways you can utilize point clouds in an efficient and effective manner by extracting only the relevant information for your design.
