kubit Introduces PhoToPlan v4.2 for AutoCAD Products
 DRESDEN,
Germany, Apr 29, 2008 - The PhoToPlan software developed by the kubit GmbH
will be available as version 4.2 starting May 2008. The program enables the
direct true to scale rectification of digital or digitalized photos and
plans within AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT and all programs based on the above like
Architecture Map and Civil 3D.
When reference values will be measured at the object, a multi-purpose image
plan may be generated from digital photos. This plan enables the easy tap of
square and linear measures. The rectified and spatially correct arranged
images may now be overwritten with a 3D plan within the CAD program. Next to
the commands of the CAD program PhoToPlan offers many internal commands.
An Alpha-Blending function and new functions for the join of spatially
arranged images enable the easy assembling of "panoramas" and consistent
three-dimensional front plans. If ESRI data have been assigned to the photos
for geocoding purposes, these photos may be analyzed by PhoToPlan for the
positioning. Vice versa, ESRI WORLD files may be generated for rectified and
positioned images. That way images that have been positioned and scaled
appropriately within an AutoCAD drawing may be imported into other systems,
e.g. geographic information systems (GIS), with their exact position.
The digital image rectification is in most cases the most efficient
method for the inventory survey. It combines the fast collection of
geometric information with the photographic documentation. Due to the
adjustment function of PhoToPlan the quality of common digital cameras is
sufficient. Even wide-angle lenses may be used. A specific photogrammetric
know how is not required for the rectification.
PhoToPlan is mostly used by architects, monument conservators, building
historians and conservators for all aspects of the inventory survey. Typical
applications are front surveys but also the documentation of mural and
ceiling paintings or floors.
PhoToPlan is entirely compatible to AutoCAD 2009, AutoCAD 2009 LT and
Vista. Version 4.2 is available in German, English and French.
If you are interested in PhoToPlan, you may test it for four weeks free
of charge. You will find further information regarding PhoToPlan and other
programs for the building inventory survey on the kubit homepage. For more
