3rd party software workflows for AEC

Trimble Business Center

Use Hovermap point cloud data with Trimble Business Center (TBC) to leverage high-quality 3D scans in a precise and efficient workflow, improving accuracy, enhancing workflow efficiency, and supporting complex infrastructure and survey projects.

TBC can process, analyze, and integrate Hovermap data with other geospatial datasets, such as GNSS and total station data, to create accurate terrain models, maps, and 3D designs. TBC’s robust tools streamline large dataset management, automate feature extraction, and enable seamless collaboration.

Agisoft Metashape

Hovermap LiDAR data integrates with Agisoft Metashape to enhance photogrammetry workflows by combining detailed point clouds with high-resolution imagery.

Metashape processes Hovermap’s LiDAR data alongside aerial or ground photos to create accurate, georeferenced 3D models and maps. This improves data accuracy, fills gaps in visual datasets, and supports applications like surveying, construction, and asset inspection.

Bentley

Hovermap LiDAR data integrates seamlessly with Bentley Systems’ software, such as ContextCapture and MicroStation, to enhance 3D modeling and infrastructure workflows. Detailed Hovermap point clouds can be imported to create accurate digital twins, terrain models, and complex structures.

This integration supports visualization, analysis, and design optimization for infrastructure projects, improving collaboration, precision, and decision-making.

Cintoo Cloud

Utilize Hovermap’s 3D data with Cintoo Cloud’s tools for in-depth analysis, including sectioning, distance measurements, annotations, and comparisons with previous scans or BIM models if needed. You can also invite collaborators to view or edit the point cloud data, enabling a collaborative workflow within the platform.
