3D Modeling in Trimble Scan Essentials for SketchUp

Webinar from 10 Sept 2020 hosted by Kyle Deuschle, Product Manager, Field Technology Group at Trimble
In this webinar, learn how to bring point cloud data into SketchUp and model with extreme accuracy using the Scan Essentials extension. Join us as we demonstrate each tool included in the extension and walk through a few different point cloud workflows.
You'll learn:
1) How to import their point clouds into SketchUp
2) How the new Scan Essentials for SketchUp toolbar works
3) How to model directly onto point cloud data for accurate 3D modeling
4) How to use inspection tools to compare your 3D model to the point cloud to check for accuracy

This was a great conversation and very helpful. We bought an X7 4 months ago and Kyle is 100% correct!!!! This piece of equipment and scan essentials is revolutionizing our workflow!

Hi, this is very exciting technology for SketchUp... I can't wait to be able to scan real objects in the near future!

Hi! I'm currently working with a scanner and trying to get a smaller point cloud size... Right now it is 2.7 gb so when I try to run it on sketch up it just freeze. Any help please!

YOu don't load the cloud -- you link skp file to the cloud. Do you have Scan Essentials? Watch the clips on 'linking skp to the cloud'
