Global Mapper - New book is now available.

The Link between Metashape Pro and Civil 3D.

Global Mapper (GM) by BlueMarble Geographics is a cutting-edge GIS software application that provides both novice and experienced geospatial professionals with a comprehensive array of spatial data visualization, editing, analysis, and presentation tools, with access to unparalleled list of data formats.

This book contains step-by-step instructions on how to classify a point cloud file (LAS) and to create a bare earth model (Geotiff) file.

The techniques shown in this book are a collection of many hours of utilizing GM on 3D Survey Mapping projects.

GM offers features that help to bridge the gap between Metashape Pro and Civil 3D.

Conclusion

Several software solutions are needed to complete a 3D Survey Mapping project.

One software package does not contain all of the features needed to bring the deliverables to the client.

Metashape Pro is really good at processing the imagery, creating orthomosaic and extracting breaklines.

GM is really good at classifying point clouds (LAS).

Civil 3D is really good at creating surface models for the engineers to perform their design with.

In all my years of providing 3D surface files to engineers, the above software solutions are the secret sauce to create a professional product.

If you like the information provided above and would like to see more in future email posts, then consider purchasing some of my books and videos to help support the effort. As all of you know, computer hardware, software and drones costs money. I put 100% of my book/video sales back into the business to write more books, produce videos, buy drones to test and so forth.

Thank you all that have supported this effort. It is greatly appreciated.
