Scan Essentials - Skill Builder

[PemboDave]

Thanks for sharing
It would be great to see a video showing the range of low cost options to be able to scan either the outside or inside of buildings
Thanks in advance

Modeling rectangular structures is a breeze with this new Scan Essentials plug-in. Any tips/techniques for modeling terrain and/or roadways from point cloud data using the plug-in? Perhaps integrating some Sandbox tools in SketchUp?

[paulhensey]

this looks like it could become an essential tool very quickly. Can you cover creating terrain and natural objects from a scan, such as rock forms

[kconcepts]

Will there be a option for the Pro version? Digging this!

[rndrstudio]

What about converting this point cloud in a textured mesh? That would be game changing for modeling and rendering process.

excelente presentación, me gustaría saber mas de esa herramienta, gracias

So is this as good as the plugin Undet for SketchUp?

[nunomota]

how sketchup will handle so much point cloud and imagine that you have an entire heavy model to add to this? you guys are putting a Porsche motor in a Fiat uno

[georgenavarrete]

Questions, will this be available for Sketchup Pro in the future and what kind of scanner is used to scan outdoor building elements.

[macwillson]

are there any affordable 3d scanners out there that'll work, too?

[nvbnbvh]

can you make a tool for erase point clouds ?

[guitarjism]

Will you be able to export the skp model with point cloud models into other programs (revit, grasshopper, 3ds Max, Fusion, solidworks etc?)

[jamesogston]

Hi be good to see this in action for interiors?

[SlashMyles]

Impressive! Is it possibile to export the points cloud to 3d model?

[seanrobertson]

When will you you put in work to fix dynamic components.. a more user friendly approach and not so laborious maybe like revit.

Just bought a Mavic Mini (1). Reality Capture was just purchased by Unreal Engine, and their photo -> point cloud software is great (I tried a demo). Does this plugin accept their data format? My trial expired so I don't have a way to check.

hi All - somehow I'm a bit obtuse right now 😉
I would like to test this tool, and if all goes well eventually buy it. However, I can't figure out where to get it.
I already use a SkUp-Pro subscription and assume that one can obtain Scan Essentials as a paid plugin?

- Can Scan Essentials be purchased as a standalone software in addition to an existing SkUp-Pro subscription?
or
- Is Scan Essentials only possible within a SketchUp Studio-Version?

hopefully someone can guide me where I can find this information?

[greenftechn]

It doesn't look like you can get Scan Essentials as a standalone anymore.
