Modeling

1 Mesh Modeling

Generate a textured reality-mesh model from point clouds and images, or produce an untextured white model directly from point clouds when no texture source is available.

Figure 133 Point Cloud Modeling

In the Data Panel, a single point cloud or multiple point clouds can be selected for individual modeling. For merged modeling of multiple point clouds, they must first be transformed into the same coordinate system during One-Click Processing (either based on control points or RTK), or aligned using the point cloud registration function. After alignment, right-click in the Data Management Panel and select Merge Stations to create a complete virtual station. Modeling this virtual station will generate an integrated 3D model. Click the Point Cloud Modeling button to open the modeling interface. Select the texture source as required (Photo Texture is used by default), then click OK to submit the modeling task.

2 3DGS Modeling

Generate a 3DGS model from point clouds and images.

Figure 136 3DGS Modeling

In the Data Panel, a single point cloud can be selected for 3DGS modeling. Multiple point clouds can also be merged using Merge Stations to produce a unified 3DGS model.

3 Model Export

Model export includes Mesh export and 3DGS export. Supported Mesh export formats include OSGB, OBJ, FBX, B3DM, 3DS, GLB, and PLY. 3DGS export supports the PLY format.
