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
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.
Mostly scanned object is very deformed, and it is better to keep straight lines to structurize 3D model. If you get a snap to a random point cloud point, you will get an irregular 3D model that will be hard to use later. But it depends on your needs and the purpose of the project, with UNDET you can use point cloud as reference (background) while modelling, and you can choose how to draw a line: by axis or by actual points estimating the allowed deviation to keep straight lines. There are also tools to place a reference point, line, and later on, draw SketchUp objects to them, or use auto-plane recognition tools, to calculate plane from point cloud points instead of snapping to a single point.
