Introduction to Reducing Errors by Using Point Clouds in InfraWorks

00:01

Using point clouds to create the existing condition model can help reduce errors and ensure accuracy.

00:08

In this unit, you'll learn to bring a point cloud into InfraWorks, and use it to create a model.

00:13

We'll look at running the Point Cloud Terrain Analysis tool, as well as processing that data and extracting the vertical features.

00:22

We'll then look at some of the options for modeling our linear features, such as brake lines and roadway Components.

00:28

Two methods of doing that-- automatic and manual.

00:32

We'll also look at utilizing that extracted data, taking it from InfraWorks, and bringing it into Civil 3D.
