ContextCapture User Guide

CAD/3D Software

With the standard Wavefront OBJ, Collada DAE, and FBX formats, 3D models generated by ContextCapture can be exported to a vast majority of CAD and 3D solutions including Bentley MicroStation, Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk AutoCAD, Rhinoceros 3D, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Mudbox, Autodesk MeshMixer, MeshLab.

ContextCapture can generate 3D meshes with multiple level of detail (LOD) to ease integration of large datasets into 3D solutions supporting this optimization.

For very large 3D models - such as cities - using the above formats can prove challenging, even with the LOD system. In this case, the 3MX format can be used to export the model to Bentley MicroStation.
