Orbit was introduced into the Bentley portfolio only last year and, it has an excellent reputation in the GIS and Mobile Mapping worlds. As part of the Reality Modeling bundle, we believe it enables a bridge between GIS and CAD, especially useful for small surveying companies that are looking for a competitive edge against larger engineering groups. This advanced module offers semi-automatic measurements and advanced tools to effectively and efficiently generate added value deliverables such as floor maps or inventories.
Together with Slawomir, our User Success Manager for Reality Modeling we are going to take you step-by-step through the main functionalities.
You read that right. All your data (terrestrial, mobile, oblique, aerial, even 360 imagery) can be imported and visualized in different ways, as we demonstrated live (see video).
This is extremely powerful. In a matter of seconds, we imported a data set of about 11 GB point cloud and created different 2D and 3D views, showing the location of the project, point cloud and imagery from different points of view.
We then demonstrated a few “Basic Measurements”. Basic, such as measuring an overhead catenary in less 5 clicks…2D and 3D views, showing the location of the project, point cloud and imagery from different points of view.
The main highlights from this first experience navigating data with Orbit:
