“You need to prompt the user,” Diaz explained. Kubit programmers have focused on a “semi-automatic” approach to feature extraction, said Diaz. The product allows users to work with point clouds in an AutoCAD environment and more rapidly perform modeling and feature-extraction tasks. See an interview with kubit’s Scott Diaz and John Bunn conducted from the SPAR show today: “Basically, one year ago we promised the user community that we’d come out with an industry specific product,” said kubit USA owner Scott Diaz, and this is it. First in the PointSense family is PointSense Plant, for industrial and process facility design. PointSense is the first product from kubit to address specific vertical applications, rather than simply be a catch-all point cloud engine like previous kubit releases. Kubit took the opportunity to launch a new product, finished just for SPAR International. Not only was the American Society of Civil Engineers holding a day long workshop, and SPAR advisory board members conducting primers on using 3D imaging for plant and process and civil engineering applications, but ESRI and kubit also both held user meetings in the afternoon. HOUSTON-Day one of the SPAR International Conference was a hive of activity, even if the exhibition hall and educational programming don’t start until tomorrow. PointSense family of products comes out of the gate with PointSense Plant
