Other features include the following:

• Storage and management of large amounts of data in one project.
• Examination, modelling, and manipulation of large point data sets on a desktop PC or field laptop.
• Transfer of data between projects, databases, and networks.
• Application of photographic images to scan surfaces.
• Extensive CAD capability.
• Import and export of multiple CAD data, visualisation, and modelling formats.
• Reporting on design conformance and volume assessment.
