Modeling Point Clouds in ZWCAD Easily with PointCab 4ZWCAD Plugin

GUANGZHOU, CHINA: August 5, 2022 – Germany developer PointCab releases its brand-new 4ZWCAD Plugin that provides one of the easiest and fastest workflows for modeling point clouds by transferring point cloud data from PointCab Origins to ZWCAD.

What PointCab 4ZWCAD Plugin Can Do?

When handling a large amount of point cloud data, even the most advanced CAD system can run slowly. PointCab Origins provides one of the fastest solutions for processing large point clouds and can read all data whether from drones, terrestrial or SLAM laser scanners.

Amanda Qin, Product Manager of ZWCAD, said, “The PointCab 4ZWCAD plugin realizes a direct connection between PointCab Origins and ZWCAD. This plugin directly translates point cloud data into ZWCAD objects to generate 2D drawings with full accuracy. It extends the capabilities of ZWCAD and brings convenience to professionals from a wide range of industries, especially heritage preservation, surveying, architecture, and civil engineering.”

Highlights of PointCab 4ZWCAD Plugin:

●  Direct connection between PointCab Origins and ZWCAD – direct transfer of point cloud information

●  Create CAD elements – line, polylines, multilines

●  Create CAD elements – blocks

●  Transform from UCS to WCS

●  Manipulate coordinates transfer

How It Was Developed?

Iulia Prica, Product Manager at PointCab, said, “ZWCAD is a big player when it comes to CAD software. We have customers working with ZWCAD that were looking for an easier workflow that combines these two pieces of software. Since we as a company strive to make working with point cloud data easy for all, it was only natural for us to develop a point cloud plugin for ZWCAD.”

ZWSOFT, developer of ZWCAD, is dedicated to building a sustainable and all-win ecosystem for the industry in partnership with global developers, to meet the needs of multiple scenarios and disciplines. ZWCAD features rich APIs including LISP, VBA, ZRX, and .NET, making it smooth to port and develop industry-specific industries.
