Point cloud: LAS and E57
A point cloud is the survey as millions of measured 3D points. LAS and E57 open directly in Revit, Civil 3D and ArchiCAD, and are the right choice when you need to design against real conditions or check as-built work.
Orthophoto and elevation model: GeoTIFF
An orthophoto is a map-accurate image of the site: distances can be measured on it directly. The elevation model, delivered in the same GeoTIFF format, describes the height of the terrain or of everything on it, and feeds contours, slopes and volumes.
Drawings and GIS data: DXF, DWG, GeoJSON
Contours, breaklines, boundaries and utilities are delivered as vector drawings for CAD, or as attribute layers for GIS.
- DXF and DWG for CAD and as-built drawings
- GeoJSON for GIS systems and web maps
- PDF or XLSX for reports and volume statements
Choosing what you need
Most projects need two or three of these, not all of them. The best starting point is the software your team already uses.
