Point cloud in.
CAD drawing out.
Pointcloud Manager turns LiDAR and drone point clouds into survey-grade drawings, terrain models and volumes — directly in your browser. No installation, no cloud upload: your data never leaves your machine.
Your CAD is great at CAD. Not at point clouds.
Surveying and engineering teams that already own a CAD seat still buy a second tool for digitization — because tracing a thinned, laggy cloud through clunky section planes wastes the accuracy they paid for in the field.
Load the real cloud — no conversion detour
LAS, LAZ, E57, PLY and XYZ open directly — including LAS files beyond 2 GiB via chunked import. No proprietary re-export, no extra converter subscription, no detail-eating level-of-detail throttle between you and your data.
Draw where the cloud has gaps
Every photogrammetry tool we know only draws on existing points — or on drawing planes you first have to set up. Here you keep drawing straight through noise and holes, and move every vertex controlled along axes or planes. That bridges the weaknesses of any point cloud with centimeter control — fast, without detours.
Keep digitization in-house
Outsourced linework comes back with deviations you spend days finding. With an efficient tool, the person who scanned the site draws the deliverable — same care, competitive price, no revision ping-pong across time zones.
Your data never leaves your machine
Everything is parsed, rendered and analyzed locally in the browser — no upload, no account, no cloud. Confidential sites, infrastructure and client data stay exactly where they are.
From raw scan to signed-off deliverable.
One model carries your cloud, your linework, your terrain and your exports — no round-trips between viewer, converter and CAD.
Load clouds, plans and photos
Drag in your scan and keep the coordinates you surveyed — large coordinates are handled safely, CRS transformations included.
- LAS / LAZ (>2 GiB chunked), E57, PLY, XYZ
- DXF & GeoJSON reference drawings
- GeoTIFF orthophotos & terrain rasters
- Drone camera poses (Metashape, COLMAP) & phone photos
Trace with CAD discipline
Draw directly on the cloud with the snapping and constraints you expect from a drafting tool — organized in layers with DXF colors and lineweights.
- Point, endpoint & edge-midpoint snapping
- Right-angle mode, arcs, circles, offset & double lines
- Centerlines, densify, vertex elevation labels
- Layer manager with per-layer style & DXF lineweight
Measure what the site really does
Quantities come from the cloud itself — with a plane or terrain-following TIN reference for honest volumes.
- Distance, area, 3D surface area, slope
- Volumes against plane or TIN reference
- Contour lines at any interval
- Outlier cleaning (SOR / radius), clipping, class filters
Build the ground model
Classify ground, build a DTM raster, drape orthophotos or web maps over it — and reuse it as reference surface for your measurements.
- Ground classification (cloth simulation)
- DTM raster with elevation color ramp
- Drape orthophotos, OSM & cadastre WMS
- DTM import/export as GeoTIFF
Hand off to CAD & GIS
The deliverable opens where your client works — tested against picky AutoCAD-OEM-based packages, not just tolerant readers.
- DXF (AC1015 / AC1032) with layers, true color, lineweights
- GeoJSON, LAS export with thinning & boundary crop
- GeoTIFF: top-view orthophoto & DTM
- A3 PDF plan sheets, project state save/restore
Four things you won't find anywhere else.
Not marketing claims — workflow gaps we kept hitting in other tools, closed in this one. Many browser viewers still ride on decade-old viewer frameworks with rudimentary measuring; this engine is purpose-built for the surveying workflow.
See 3D, draw in true ortho
The scene in 3D, the drawing in a true plumb top view — at the same time. Even low-resolution clouds turn into clean plans this way.
Snapping that actually lands
Point, endpoint and edge-midpoint snap, forced right angles, full point-cloud snap while editing — with feedback right at the cursor. Precision without zooming in.
Subtract one area from another
Area minus area returns real result shapes — deduction areas, partial areas, remainders ready for billing. We know of no other point cloud tool that can do this.
Compare, align and merge clouds
Load two clouds side by side, reference-align and tilt, bake & merge — with class filters and outlier cleaning (SOR / radius) right on the slot.
No upload. No account. No trace.
Pointcloud Manager is a local application that happens to run in a browser tab. Point clouds are decoded in worker threads on your CPU, rendered on your GPU — and that's the whole data path. Nothing to install for IT, nothing to clear with data protection.
Exports built for the software your clients actually use.
A deliverable only counts when it opens cleanly on the other side. The DXF writer produces the full table structure that strict AutoCAD-OEM packages demand — layers, true colors, lineweights, text styles.
Your clients measure for themselves — in your portal.
As a licensee you can offer the tool behind the client login of your own website: your clients don't just view the point cloud — they measure in it. Distances, areas, elevations. No photogrammetry package offers that, and a third-party viewer is a tool you would first have to learn and then teach your clients. Here you deliver in the same tool you work in.
See it on your own data.
Bring a LAS, LAZ or E57 from a real project. In 30 minutes we load it together in your browser and walk your workflow — from import to the DXF your client opens.
