Program Description

Point Cloud for Rhino is a plug-in for Rhino 2.0 and 3.0. This plug-in gives Rhino the ability to process point clouds. You can import a point cloud into Rhino as it is or fit a surface that passes through the points to recreate the original object. This is ideal for reverse engineering and GIS applications. There are different ways of fitting a surface depending on the nature of the point cloud. Point Cloud for Rhino also has the ability to compensate for probe diameter. There is an inherent error with probe based scanners since they digitize points at the center of the probe. Point Cloud for Rhino takes care of this very efficiently. Point Cloud for Rhino has a wizard that helps you process point clouds. When working with the wizard you can switch to "Expert" mode at any time. Point Cloud for Rhino is very easy to use. It adds a new command to Rhino called "PC". Simply type "PC" at the command prompt and follow the simple instructions.
