Cintoo Feature List
Last Updated March 2025
Upload and Restructure Unified Point Clouds
Unlike traditional point clouds that remain in their segmented, individual scan states, a unified point clouds need to be restructured in a typical workflow to provide the full range of information from the scan data. Typically, unified point clouds lack the structure so it's impossible to leverage all information from the project.
Cintoo now offers more ways to use structured point clouds by restructuring the unified point cloud at the resolution of the source file. By compressing it using Cintoo’s point-cloud-to-mesh capabilities, the structure is maintained, and the data becomes actionable. Learn more about unified point clouds here, or to start importing in Cintoo today, visit our Knowledge Base.
