Overview

The Carlson Point Cloud software is designed for professionals who need fast, reliable tools to view, analyze, and extract data from 3D laser scans. Capable of handling massive datasets of up to 1 billion points, it delivers exceptional performance and accuracy for surveying, engineering, and construction applications.

With intuitive tools for cleaning, registration, and modeling, Point Cloud lets you merge multiple scans, align them to coordinates, and visualize terrain with overlaid imagery or color adjustments. You can automatically detect and extract features like poles, trees, hydrants, edges, and slopes to speed up linework creation.

Carlson Point Cloud integrates seamlessly with Carlson Field-to-Finish, allowing you to create symbols, linework, and labels in CAD directly from scan data. Generate 3D surfaces, cross-sections, and profiles, and export them for use in Carlson Civil, Takeoff, or Survey for final design and reporting.

Whether you’re preparing a site model, extracting topographic details, or cleaning complex scan data, Carlson Point Cloud gives you complete control from raw data to finished CAD deliverables, fast, accurate, and easy to use.
