Features
One of the standout features of Scan Terrain is the ability to isolate the ground surface based on specific parameters. Users can choose whether the terrain is flat, hilly, or mountainous, as well as specify if there are steps or steep slopes present. These options help ensure that the ground surface is calculated accurately, saving time and effort in the modeling process.
Additionally, the plugin offers a command to add Toposurface points from the point cloud to an existing Toposurface. This feature is especially useful for users who need to update their models with new data. With the option to delete existing points in the area of the newly added points, Scan Terrain streamlines the editing process and promotes a more efficient workflow.
