Visualizing LAS LIDAR data with sketch-up

While trying to figure out the way to get a 3D model from raw Lidar data, I first opened my LAS file in Global Mapper, exported it to DXF, imported then into Sketch-up and after recording a few scenes, I saved the animation… this is it!. Alberto

One more 3D building. Avenida de la Vega 28108. Restaurante Asiático SHENG. Madrid, Spain.

I used to have lunch every thrusday there, at the ‘Restaurante Asiático SHENG’.

TheseContinue reading “One more 3D building. Avenida de la Vega 28108. Restaurante Asiático SHENG. Madrid, Spain.”
