That is for anyone who is worried about importing giant Level Clouds into SketchUp.
Now we have to design, and set up the entire glass parts for this actually attention-grabbing challenge.
So I drove 130 miles yesterday to do a digital laser scan, solely to seek out the constructing nonetheless cloaked within the scaffolding that was “positively coming down on Wednesday” 
Due to the scaffolding, I needed to do 25 separate scans to seize all of the geometry I wanted which is probably the most I’ve ever finished, and the ensuing level cloud file got here out at simply over 25GB.
I used to be a bit involved however for no purpose because it imported in SketchUp with no issues in any respect, and I’m now fortunately modelling the constructing from it.
Right here’s a fast video to indicate off my enhancing expertise:

Good work. Drawback solved. However keep in mind to ask, “which wednesday”, subsequent time.

Nice recommendation 
I made one other brief video final night time simply to see if I might merge the Level Cloud in SketchUp with some drone footage I captured on website.
It makes my creativeness run wild interested by the movies I might make for social media utilizing drone footage and SketchUp as soon as the mannequin is full:

I prefer it!
After I put the SU + PC + AR equation collectively a number of years in the past I went nuts! I received a drone asap and began flying it in my lounge (as a result of it was in the midst of the ice-cold winter). Then a business drone pilot’s license. I pushed my little built-in graphics card to the restrict with Pix4D Photogrammetry (12 hour processing instances). I’d attempt to seize massive trophy fashions – like 1,000 photos simply to see if it could possibly be finished. Then with Undet and the very best match field becoming technique I began ‘tracing’ my SU fashions from PCs (sure, be taught the fundamentals first says somebody who did the other).
I’m going berserk pondering of how cool it might be to have a legit scanner like it’s a must to play with. I’d be scanning every little thing.
Right here’s a playlist of a jobsite the place I did one thing much like your vid:
{Golfing} Inexperienced: Drone, Blended Actuality, Landscaping – YouTube
One factor to think about is that Pix4D can generate level clouds from movies. Might be fairly seamless transitions doing it that approach.
Oh – It so occurs that I’ve some smashed corrugated polycarbonate sheets that I would like to interchange and I hold pondering of asking how I’d make a poor man’s greenhouse… have any plans available for a cheapo greenhouse ;^)? Oh wait – Your stuff is very nice :^).
Anyway, tag me for those who make any extra movies.
I assume with todays expertise the one restrict to what we will create is our obtainable time and our creativeness.
Thanks for the hyperlink and the recommendation.
