2D and 3D Drawings

To compliment our 2D and 3D drawings, Midwestern Consulting now has another deliverable for you. And it's free!

Leica's new software allows you to view your building's existing conditions from your own desktop.

Using the free Leica TruView "panoramic" point cloud viewer you can view, zoom in, or pan over point clouds naturally and intuitively.

Using a simple panoramic approach, you see 3D point clouds on the computer screen just as if you were standing right where the laser scanner captured the scan data.

Easy 3D Measuring and Markups at Your Desk!

In TruView, users can extract real 3D coordinates and accurately measure distances. Results appear right on the point cloud image.

Markups are also easy to create, save, print, email, and share with your peers, contractors, CMs, or with clients for more effective communications. Simple controls let you rotate the view just as if you were turning, raising, or lowering your head.

Below is a sample TruView point cloud with some markups.
