Geometry Tools
Extend ALLPLAN with advanced 3D capabilities. Create 3D surfaces from survey points and use them as planes, triangulate and simplify meshes, and exchange data via OBJ, LandXML, XYZ and ESRI-Grid. More than 30 specialised tools, including the preparation of setting-out files (BIM2Field).

More than 30 advanced 3D tools
A complete toolset for triangulation, meshes, 3D lines and data exchange.
3D surfaces from terrain points
Creating 3D surfaces from survey points and using them as working planes in ALLPLAN.
Triangulation and diagrams
Delaunay triangulation, Voronoi diagrams and straight-skeleton generation from polygons and points.
Format import and export
Data exchange via OBJ, LandXML 2.0, XYZ points and ESRI-Grid for linking to GIS and surveying.
Import of survey data
Taking terrain models from open sources (e.g. swisstopo) and other survey data.
Editing solids and surfaces
Refining, cutting, splitting, closing and decomposing solids, plus dividing and separating surfaces.
3D line operations
Joining, splitting and simplifying 3D lines for a clean, manageable model.
Mesh optimisation
Simplifying triangular meshes, removing sliver triangles, aligning normals and flipping surfaces.
BIM2Field setting-out
Creating setting-out files for surveying equipment — from the model to the site.
What it is for
Advanced 3D operations on terrain and meshes — from survey data to setting out.
Features and examples
Triangulation, meshes, data exchange and tool examples.
Triangular mesh input
Creating a triangular mesh from points and polygons as the basis for 3D processing.
Voronoi diagram
Generating Voronoi diagrams for spatial analysis and subdivision.
Delaunay triangulation
Precise triangulation of points for high-quality meshes and terrain models.
OBJ import
Import and export of OBJ models for exchange with other 3D tools.
Cutting solids
Cutting, refining and editing 3D solids for detailed geometry work.
Mesh simplification
Reducing the triangle count while preserving the shape for faster, easier processing.
