Good morning, I have Sketchup pro and I'm evaluating the plugin to work on point clouds. I saw the transparency mode and wanted to know if it is possible to export the plan view of the cloud section to dwg. Thanks!
I have a problem with Undet Indexer Installer, Can't make to finish installation due to some error it says " There is a problem with this Windows Installer package, A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected." Please help

Well correct me if I'm wrong but all this does is allow you to import the point cloud and then you do the modelling.... So, I am a Master degree student in Building Technology and I wanted to do a BIM model of a historic building for my final project, and I tried to to do a mesh with the point cloud we did (my tutour and me) so I could export it to a 3D modelling software and do the model, but it's crazy for me to spend 770 dollars for a single building and I surely won't do anything else with it after I'm done with the project (in 3 months), and I tried HxDR 19€ subscription but it won't let me do a mesh from a 35gb file and I don't know if I should pay the 330 € subscription for the same reasons, also I'm doing everything with my own money... Also... Could you help me make the mesh? I Can give you the material of my final project and it is journal material for sure in HBIM, it is located in Tenerife, Spain, and it's a small fortress from the XVI centhury, if you could help me with the mesh (i tried cc, meshlab, rhino and they use 60gb ram and can't continue, also recap is equally expensive)
Many thanks for the very useful video. When using the clipping box tool I see you can either select 'n' for none or 'v' for view, but what is the difference? In theory I could select none with a cut thickness of 10mm and get the same result as in view mode.
There are two tools for clipping point clouds: 1. Clip by Rectangle 2. Clip by line. After using both tools, you can change the size of the clipping volume either visually using the grips or using the properties. The Clip by Line tool has additional functions where you can select the thickness of slice, an option to for and UCS orientation. There are options: U V A N. U - will clip point cloud and create UCS according to slice line V - will clip point cloud and rotate view according to slice line without creating new UCS. A - will clip point cloud, create new UCS and rotate view according to slice line. N - will clip point cloud only.
Prices are public and can be found on each Undet product page or in our online shop. For example Undet for SketchUp: www.undet.com/undet-products/sketchup-plugin-for-3d-modeling-from-point-cloud/
Fair enough. thank you for the reply. Why dont you create fair use pricing? I would like to try your tool for 1-2 uses a month not for a daily workflow. I find your pricing on the expensive side if you compare your tool with something like Adobe Creative Cloud with a lower price point/month and offering all their applications. And they are on the market for over 20 years! I just think you should reconsider your pricing point as you offering a plugin and not a full software suite.@@UNDETPointCloudSoftware
This is mostly the case with Nvidia Quadro video cards, so if you plan to use the Undet for SketchUp plugin, you should test whether everything is working. If there is a request, our team is always available to help you and check if it is possible to make Undet compatible with your existing graphic card or not. It is rare to have problems with Nvidia RTX video cards like, GTX 1060, RTX 2060 or RTX 3060 or similar.

@@PointCloudAcademy Hey yes I’ve tried to reach out to the team they have tried working with the computer but for some reason nothing has worked we’ve uninstalled and tried different things I’m not sure why it’s not working. The computer is not old or anything so it’s strange. Keeps saying it needs to open in a separate undet for sketchup icon message.
Hey! Great video! Just a question, i´m trying to rotate from de rotate button in Undet tools and an error message continues to appear. Is there a way to rotate the whole pointcloud ? Thanks!
There are three reasons: 1. The tunnels at the bottom of the wells, 3-7 metres deep, are invisible. 2. The upside-down tripod broke after 100 manholes (the second one held a little more ~140). 3. Productivity and scanning speed to capture what we need to model. Using an upside-down tripod, we needed to make two scans at the bottom and the top. Lowering the scanner to 4 metres using an upside-down tripod is difficult and slow. And when you need to scan 12500 manholes - the speed of data collection and the most important factor.
@@PointCloudAcademy thank you for such a detailed answer! it was interesting to study your experience. the only thing that is a little confusing in your construction is the presence of vibrations during scanning. but it looks like the compensator works well at faro. )
@@3dlaserscan-kazan The scanner pad did not wobble because it was placed on the ground in the well. You can see the vibrating rope used to lower the scanner to the ground. Because it has to be left loose during scanning so that it does not vibrate with the scanner.
In general, this tool helps you model. There are also automatic functions to help you model faster in particular areas: plane detection, box detection, room volume extraction, horizontal plane fittings, roof plane fitting, actual plane fitting, circle detection, terrain mesh extraction, auto texturing tools and others.
Hello! For someone doing pipe work and using point cloud data of an existing space and converting it to a 3D model, would Revit be a good option? I have a friend who currently uses AutoCAD and a specialized 3D Plant toolset, but he is looking to increase efficiency a bit. Would Revit help this person with better ease of use? I would appreciate any input you might have!
At Undet, we frequently work with Plant and prefer using Revit over AutoCAD for its ease in 3D modeling with the combined features of Undet and Revit. While the transition from CAD to BIM might be challenging at first, it will ultimately save time in the long run.
I think you need to change the camera mode from what you wrote. In SketchUp, top menu Camera -> Parallel Projection. Please let us know if it helped you.
In the first point cloud file supplied to me by a local scanning outfit, I am so far barely able to find any points whatsoever to snap to in the entire model. Am I missing something?
Hello Gord, could you clarify your question? Did you create an UNDET project and loaded into SU? Did you activate the clipping box? There are also tools to control your point cloud density, you can find these tools in the Undet Density toolbar.
Hi, I am thinking of buying Sketchup Pro for using it to create a Permaculture Design of our land. We need precise topographical contour lines and watersheds. Do you know if your extension works with LiDAR maps? Will we be able to create dedicated layers for just those two components (contour lines and water bodies) out of the LiDAR maps? Thank you!
To import point clouds into SketchUp, you need to install Undet for SketchUp extension. Using Undet you can import almost all point cloud files into SU. Supported point cloud formats: *.E57, *.FLS, *.RCP/RCS, *.PTX, *.ZFS,*.LAS, *.LAZ, *.PTS, *.PLY, *.DP, *.FPR, *.LSPROJ, *.FWS, *.CL3, *.CLR, *.RSP, ASCII / NEZ (X,Y,Z/i/RGB) and custom ASCII / TXT file format imports. Undet Browser is a powerful yet simple to use point cloud viewer. Undet Browser is compatible with only structured point cloud files, which have a bubble view option. Lidar maps data mostly is point cloud files from a drone or airborne lidar sensors, and this data is not structured. Such point cloud data can be easily imported into SketchUp using the UNDET extension, but It is not compatible with Undet Browser to take 360degrees panoramic tours.
@@hemrog UNDET extension for SketchUp allows you to import any point cloud file, *.shp files is not point cloud file format. *.shp is GIS vector files.
To do this job, 3D smart board tool should be useful. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZOzYeYKfXJI.html or slicing tool which slice point cloud, set UCS and rotates the view with a single click.
does these tools provide wall varticality or deformation analysis based on laser scans ? If yes which extension and do you have videos of such kind of tasks ?
Yes, Undet for SketchUp extension has such feature to do deformation analysis. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fUkKS3NLli4.html - Here is more info
Yes, you can apply the texture from point clouds using UNDET Texturing tools. More info in this video -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ozi0ycCKv8U.html
Undet seems excellent software but this video is not a tutorial and trying to replicate what is done here using after downloading the point cloud from the Undet site without step-by-step instruction is difficult and time-consuming and no better than just hacking around on your own. The video needs a commentary - sound or typed. At 1.04 a rectangle is drawn but how are the axes set up so that this works as it should without drawing a rotated rectangle; what point cloud settings are best for tracing; etc. Please keep it simple and don't assume any knowledge !
To start modelling there are many different methods: 1)You Point Cloud can be already aligned to axis 2) Using coordinates transformation tools you can aligning Point cloud to the axis 3) Set the axis to the Point Clouds using UNDET axis tools 4) Draw rectangular and start modelling 5) Use automatic feature extraction tools to find the best fitting plane and set up axis to that plane. Overall, UNDET will help you manage the point cloud, cut sections - profiles, get a clear view. 3D modelling is performed using SketchUp tools, Point Cloud you will use as a background.
