Along the left side you will find your project data.
There are not a ton of overbearing tools within the software. You will see that Virtual Surveyor has a simple user interface. You only need to review, remove, and add some points or breaklines to complete the job. The software produces the bulk of the output. Speed Your Production ProcessĪccelerate your survey workflows with the productivity tools in Virtual Surveyor (VS). With software such as Pix4D and 3DR SiteScan, these formats are immediately available upon successful processing. Combine those two and you are off and surveying in your virtual world. All you need is a raster image file (.tiff) and an elevation file such as a DEM. The creation of a new project is very simple and takes only a few minutes regardless of project size.
This article looks at some of the many features within the software. Recently I was introduced to Virtual Surveyor () and feel that this is one of the best, if not THE best, tools out there to bridge that gap between drone and CAD. I’ve been in the reality capture industry for years and have really taken to the drone space, but have always struggled with creating a useable existing conditions map from the data within Civil 3D, until now!

But what do we do in AutoCAD® and Civil 3D® with the data? We can bring in the ReCap file, but then what? Connect some dots, draw some lines, but it all just seems too much of a manual process. Back July 10th, 2018 Bridging the Gap Between Drone and CADĭrones are everywhere and drone data is at everyone’s fingertips! The fact that this simple machine flies through the air, captures photos, and then somehow returns usable, actionable data is just fantastic.
