Ad Hoc - Tools

Ad Hoc is the software that simplifies the use of data coming from laser scanner and photogrammetric surveys.
Provided by Ad Hoc 3D solutions with no additional cost, it allows to obtain from delivered data everything you need in a simple and intuitive way.
Ad Hoc has a modular structure with plugins that can be developed to add new features based on customer needs.

Integration

Ad Hoc offers powerful and easy to use tools to quickly get a wide range of information; for instance measuring 3D distances, angles, planes, volumes, etc. is straightforward. Sections can be extracted from 3D models and drawing tools are available. All derived items can be exported in common vector formats.

	Distances measure With two clicks you can get the distance between two points. In addition to the classical minimum distance between points, is possible to calculate the distance projected onto the surface of the object.

Areas measure You select an area and measure it. Very easy.

	Planes measure You select an area and automatically the mean plane is estimated. The plane may be expressed in dip dipdirection, according to the use of geologists.

Volumes measure You can calculate the volumes with a simple procedure.

	Sections The Sections plug-in allows you to slice the 3D model at the moment. You can create vertical and horizontal sections, or imposing a customized section plane. It's possible to export the sections in 2D or 3D vector format.

3D drawing tools Ad Hoc provides the classic drawing tools: pencil, polygon, polyline. In this way you can trace and return parts and items of interest. Your design will be automatically in 3D, viewed through the 3D model and exportable as a 3D vector file.

	Estimation of geometric shapes The special Shapes plug-in helps you to estimate circles, spheres, cylinders and cones from the laser scanner 3D survey data.
