Gemini SurfaceMaker
An advanced point‑cloud and terrain‑editing module that helps you turn raw scan data into accurate, reliable terrain models.
Designed to support large, complex point clouds and deliver the clarity you need for modelling, verification, and documentation.
Advanced point-cloud editing and modelling built for real-world construction and surveying.
Gemini SurfaceMaker gives you a powerful set of tools for importing, editing, and refining point clouds in formats such as LAS, LAZ, PTS, XYZ, and more. It supports RGB values, intensity, classification filters, and metadata — even from Leica MS50/MS60 scanners — making it easy to bring high‑quality data directly into your modelling workflow.
In day‑to‑day work, SurfaceMaker enables detailed editing such as noise reduction, density adjustments, gross‑error detection, and precise point selection. You can work directly along road, tunnel, or VA lines, reduce massive datasets into manageable sizes, and perform iterative triangulation steps to increase surface detail. These tools help you handle even the most demanding datasets efficiently.
SurfaceMaker integrates seamlessly with Gemini Terrain, enabling complete terrain modelling, triangulation of overhanging structures (like tunnels and rock walls), geometric controls, and rich documentation capabilities. Results can be exported as Excel reports, IFC, DWG, XML, or embedded metadata models. Combined with Gemini TunnelShape, it forms a powerful workflow for advanced underground design and verification.
The module also includes powerful trianglenet (mesh) functionality, supporting precise surface modelling, refinement, and manipulation. You can merge and compare multiple triangle surfaces to calculate key engineering parameters — such as minimum excavation or blasting depths, material removal volumes, and geometric differences between planned and executed surfaces. These capabilities streamline surface‑design workflows and deliver the accuracy needed for critical decision‑making.
