Autodesk® Subscription customers were given access to a new point clouds feature for the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 release. The display of the point cloud is an important part of this new feature, and AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011 offers the added benefit of the ability to generate a Civil 3D surface from the point cloud. The Add Points To Surface command enables you to extract points from a point cloud to add to a new or existing surface. You can use the entire point cloud or a selection of points.

This enables you to better visualize and understand the project from the confines of your office; in addition, it enables the direct use of the information as a standard surface for use in further development of the design.
