Create CAD from non-CAD documents such as PDFs, raster images, and paper plans, generate CAD text from raster images, and import or export BIM models into CAD.

Carlson CADnet modules serve to answer the specific needs of geotechnicians, civil engineers, and construction professionals who may not have required all of Takeoff’s many capabilities.

AUTOCAD AND INTELLICAD  

Carlson CADnet supports AutoCAD® and comes with the latest IntelliCAD® built-in. This is in addition to working on legacy AutoCAD versions.

Developed for more than 10 years within Takeoff,  Carlson’s popular site estimating and data prep software, Carlson CADnet joins with Carlson GeoTech and Carlson Trench to provide customers the flexibility to obtain just the software they need at an affordable price. These three modules can also be paired with Carlson Construction to form the Carlson Takeoff Suite and the Carlson Takeoff OEM.

CARLSON
POINT CLOUD BASIC

From Field-Scan To Finished-Plat

Carlson Point Cloud Basic is a modular program that provides the ability to go from field scan to finished plat, all with seamless integration to Carlson Survey, Carlson Civil, and Carlson Mining.

OVERVIEW  

Point Cloud Basic is designed to work within a CAD environment to manipulate and extract data from a point cloud.

It has a very large capacity (up to a billion points) and is a great program for performing a “virtual survey” directly in a cloud. It allows the creation of Carlson points and 3D polylines utilizing a typical Carlson Field to Finish code table (FLD file) and draws entities directly into an open CAD drawing with no additional export function.

A notable feature is Survey by Grid which sets points at any specified grid spacing.

Carlson Point Cloud programs give laser scanner users the ability to process millions of data points with Carlson ease-of-use and then export all resulting surface models, points, contours, breaklines, grid and profiles to CAD.
