Abstract
A method for creating a line drawing associated with a point cloud provides a line drawing representing a three-dimensional object and a point cloud of the same. The line drawing has line drawing coordinate data, and the point cloud has point cloud coordinate data. The point cloud also has point cloud distance data of the three-dimensional object. The method also associates the line drawing coordinate data with the point cloud coordinate data. Further, the method uses the associated coordinate data to apply the point cloud distance data to the line drawing.
Claims29
A method for associating a point cloud image with a piping line drawing and applying dimensions from the point cloud image to the piping line drawing, the method comprising:
- providing a piping line drawing representing a three-dimensional object, the piping line drawing having line drawing coordinate data;
- providing a point cloud of the three-dimensional object, the point cloud having point cloud coordinate data, the point cloud having point cloud distance data of the three-dimensional object;
- associating the line drawing coordinate data with the point cloud coordinate data;
- and
- using the associated coordinate data to apply the point cloud distance data to the piping line drawing.
A computer program product including a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer code thereon for associating a point cloud image with a piping line drawing and applying dimensions from the point cloud image to the piping line drawing, the computer code comprising:
- program code for providing a piping line drawing representing a three-dimensional object, the piping line drawing having line drawing coordinate data;
- program code for providing a point cloud of the three-dimensional object, the point cloud having point cloud coordinate data, the point cloud having point cloud distance data of the three-dimensional object;
- program code for associating the line drawing coordinate data with the point cloud coordinate data;
- and
- program code for using the associated coordinate data to apply the point cloud distance data to the piping line drawing.
