Laser distancemeter
-
HI all !!!
I'm trying to model my house (indoor) with a laser distance-meter. Using a Leica s910, I can import DXF points.
But my main problem is, let's say I take the 4 corners of a wall. Even if it is fairly close, it is not co planar. What plugin should I use to make those points co planar ? In fact, I'm looking a ''way of doing''... a ''workflow'' I thing you say in english. Any advises would be very appreciated !Thanks a lot !!!

When you say co-planar, do you mean when you import them into SketchUp they are NOT all on the one plane, i.e. x & y or red & green axis, but some come in on the z or blue axis as well? Can you look at the Leica s910 export data in csv or text format? Need to import just x & y co-ordinates, not z. I'm not familiar with the s190 but I do import survey data in csv format as points for creating terrain.

I think what @pace514 means is that when he records a wall in 3D with the disto, it turns out not to be truly vertical, maybe only by a few mm's, hence he can't push/pull the resulting face. It's probably quicker to survey in 2D. If measuring a series of internal rooms, why not survey in plan format...measure the lengths of the walls corner to corner, all the ground floor will be at, say 0.00m level, push/pull the walls up 2.40m say to get the to the ceiling, push/pull the doors & window openings, then group the walls. Allow for the floor thickness and do the same on the upper floors. I know you are not using the Leica DISTO
S910 to its full potential but in the case of a home survey, with no commercial benefit, it's safe to assume the walls and corners are vertical and 90°. Move from room to room and take a few diagonal check measurements, a few through open doors to distant walls, do the fine detailing at the end when you are happy with the overall shape. Don't forget to check the wall thickness's as you go, at window/door openings, the structural walls may be thicker and walls upstairs may be thinner as they ate not supporting as much weight.
The Disto will be very handy when measuring inaccessible points, roof pitch/height/angle etc.have a look at the video below for working in 3D mode...
