SURVEYING WITH POINTCAB ORIGINS & NEBULA
Modern surveying no longer relies solely on theodolites or total stations. Today, laser scanners, mobile mapping systems, and drones (UAVs) capture wide areas with the same precision in a fraction of the time. Even slanted boundaries or irregular shapes are no longer a challenge – the calculations stay accurate.
Origins turns these datasets into detailed, highly precise orthophotos that take your area measurements to the next level. With Nebula, these results are instantly available in the browser – cleanly visualized, easy to share, and perfect for fast coordination.
