Submit a review“I’m an architect and used Lidar Topography to import terrain into Revit—setup was quick, just point to your LAZ files and get a detailed surface in seconds. The adjustable mesh captures subtle slopes, aligns perfectly with my survey point, and saved me hours over manual contour tracing. A reliable tool that simply works.”
Benefits
Create higher quality model quickly that realistically describe the terrain of your project.
Save money by using free laser scan Lidar datasets instead of buying inaccurate and expensive old-fashioned cartography. Links to Lidar sources supplied in the program.
Process millions of point-cloud datasets in a matter of seconds. Take full advantage of multi-core processor to speed up the creation of your terrain.
Features
Imports very large point clouds with millions of points as uncompressed LAS or compressed LAZ formats.
Create topographic models with different density levels in accordance to your data source and requirements.
Advanced algorithm to correctly interpret and isolate the terrain data from complex laser scans.
Fully optimized to computers with multi-core processors for quicker results.
Allows accurate geographical placement of topographic points in relation to the coordinate of your Revit internal point.
Possible to export the processed terrain as CSV dataset for external use in other software.
