Convert Trees to 3d models from Point Cloud

[oliverCL7FH]

Hi, novice user here,

We have the Point Cloud data from a site survey. I am able to see the information and convert the points of the ground into contours / surface no problem and export them to be used in either CAD or Revit. Is there a way to export the trees using Infraworks or other Autodesk product? We would like to use the point cloud data to create a 3d site model that contains both the vegetation / trees and the contours / shape of the site so we can accurately depict the site conditions when designing the building in the property.

Thank you in advance,

Oliver

Try ReCap Pro. Here is a tutorial on converting point clouds to mesh.

Hi @oliverCL7FH ,

it sounds as if the Vertical Feature Extraction might be an option for you.
You can identify vertical features and replace them with objects from the Style Palette.

I use Global mapper to extract trees from pointcloud. What really improves the visual model in infraworks is to use each trees individual height when importing the data.
