HOW TO BUILD LOD2 3D BUILDING DATA USING LIDAR POINT CLOUD DATA IN ARCGIS PRO 

Wow, I know global mapper can also generate up to the building footprint and 3d masses, however can it also handles the texturing? I would also like to try if this is possible 😁

@@GEO2004 SketchUp is very good in texturing

Yep, know that well also

that is the ultimate stuff in this topic, I also still learning how to achieve this. As far I know, there are three ways with their own tradeoffs, 1. The easiest one is building the real textures and incorporate them into 3D representation using triangulated vector network or TIN, directly in the photogrammetric processing workflow. This model is called mesh and as far I know has its own limitation such as limited attributes data support and the result usually quite wobbly in higher scale/zoom level. 2. Manually build the 3D masses object ( in obj,format or other compatible format) and put the texture into every part of the building, like people usually do in Sketchup, Revit, or any other architectural 3D BIM workflow/software. This method is precise and accurate, on the other hand, this approach is quite tedious and resource demanding if we want to build landscape or city level model. The data also would be huge. 3. Multipatch model texturing using CGA/procedural script writing. ESRI City Engine is one of the few softwares that has this ability. By using CGA, mass texturing of multipatch model can be done in semi automatic way, however, if we want the model to be super precise and really mimicking the real world, we will find the difficulties like point 2. A lot of coding, a lot of design and prototyping, no easy task in conclusion,
