Carlson shares that the Takeoff R12 “includes Carlson’s Point Cloud program built-in, allowing users to import point cloud files, apply powerful tools such as bare-earth and feature recognition, and output linework and surfaces to CAD.” 

“Since Takeoff’s inception, we’ve always modeled the strata surfaces such as clay and rock, but the water table is a separate, yet important, underground feature,” says Carlson’s Takeoff Product Manager, Todd Carlson. “Now we allow for a water table surface that feeds a lot of your already commonly used features–in cut/fill volumes you’ll now get how much cut is below the water table, and likewise our trench routine will tell you the linear footage that is under the water table. All-in-all, we’ve added new surface element that many of our customers have requested.”
