For converting point clouds to CAD, we’re excited to introduce GstarCAD Point Cloud!
Integrated with Undet Point Cloud plugin, this powerful solution offers a full suite of tools that allow you to seamlessly import and manage point cloud data directly in GstarCAD.
Software Suite for Point Cloud to CAD
2D & 3D CAD Software
Point Cloud Plugin
GstarCAD is an alternative CAD software of high compatibility with ACAD. With continuous improvement and lean innovation, today GstarCAD is far ahead in performance, stability and other key indicators, becoming one of the leading CAD software in the world. It offers all the features you're familiar with in ACAD, as well as innovative tools designed to enhance your design process.
Undet provides specialized plugin for GstarCAD, tailored for businesses involved in reality capture and point cloud modelling. It streamlines daily
operations, enhances productivity, and reduces the manual effort needed to convert point cloud data into essential outputs such as 3D and BIM models,as well as 2D drawings.
With Undet Indexer, you can create point cloud projects seamlessly with data from any laser scanner or drone, then open, transform, and manage them directly in GstarCAD.(Supported formats are listed below in Features)
Integrated with the Undet Browser, Undet for GstarCAD offers interactive editing and visualization capabilities, allowing you to view, analyze and navigate your digital data as a panoramic view, speeding up the creation process.
Extremely quick and easy point cloud slicing with slice volume adjustment tools.
A dedicated tab to maximize focus on digitizing floor plans, divided into workflow phases: preparation, section view, floor view and ceiling view.
Clipping Box: Supports multiple clipping methods for point clouds, allowing flexible adjustment of the clipping box size or switching between different clipping boxes.
Specialized scripts to insert dynamic blocks of windows, doors, openings and recesses, and pilasters with few mouse clicks.
Dynamic height level blocks to annotate drawings without taking extra measurements or editing attributes manually.
Undet Browser scripts to automatically create height annotation blocks by clicking on 360-degree panoramic images: door heights, beam heights, room heights and floor levels at once, floors to windows sill – sill to windows head heights and many more.
Auto-Multi line tool for fast 2D linework extraction with a single click to achieve best-fitting accuracy to actual point cloud slice.
Automatic view & UCS orientation tools: by line, by point cloud clip & by plane/objects.
Polyline aligned tool to draw perpendicular lines instantly from the selected reference line.
Automated tools to group scan files into logical groups: external and internal level scans.
Orthophoto Creation tool to quickly render point cloud slices into orthophoto images. Profile image tool generates profile image on plan view without changing UCS or view orientation
Terrain meshing tools to automatically extract pure ground surface mesh with additional tools to edit extracted mesh: decimate, close holes, remove spikes, remove edges, create sections and extract contour lines.
Automatic view sync feature to orientate view from the nearest scan stations in Undet Browser to unclear view of point cloud slice with a single click.
Quick access to point cloud viewer to view and analyze your 3D reality data in a way that feels like being live on site.
Point cloud colouring rendering mode by reference plane in fixed intervals to quickly understand changes in geometry to draw or identify missing lines/objects.
Profile section image generation tools on plan view without changing the drawing plane and without rotating the view projection.
Model inspection colouring mode to check 3D model accuracy and identify missed details with real-time point cloud visualization while modelling.
Model Inspection QC Report generation tools to compare 3D model against point cloud and view report in Undet browser based on 360-degree scan station images.
3D Orbit rotation tools by selecting the rotation center point from point clouds.
Smart snapping mode to snap to point cloud points in different ways (to the nearest, highest, and lowest points) and dismiss snapping error to noise points.
100% DWG. GstarCAD is using the latest DWG file format, without any import or export. Read and modify drawings created with AutoCAD® (or other similar programs) and save directly in the same format. This includes any version of DWG from the very first ones to the latest versions of DWG.
Point cloud import from any laser scanner or drone: *.E57, *.FLS, *.RCP/RCS, *.PTX, *.ZFS,*.LAS, *.LAZ, *.PTS, *.PLY, *.DP, *.FPR, *.LSPROJ, *.FWS, *.CL3, *.CLR, *.RSP, ASCII / NEZ (X,Y,Z/i/RGB) and custom ASCII / TXT file format import.
Point cloud visualization with multiple color modes: by source (RGB), by intensity, by plane, by Z (height), by scan stations, and by additional transparency mode.
Software is optimized to maintain high computer and software performance even when working with large amounts of point cloud datasets (hundreds or even thousands of scan stations/files).
Intuitive point cloud viewer integration to understand & see better what the point cloud represents.
Coordinate system manager to move your point cloud quickly and align scan data to the UCS or move it to optimized coordinates to avoid screen glitching when working with georeferenced point clouds.
A dedicated toolbox for point cloud view sections management: activate, deactivate, delete, rename or export as a new Undet project.
Toggling tools of scan stations/files/view sections in no time, with an intelligent indicator to quickly identify the densest scan file in the active view section.

We provide flexible licensing, you could buy the perpetual license, you are free to choose the license mode and you decide when to upgrade.
Perpetual License
GstarCAD is available as a "perpetually licensed" product. You own the perpetual right to use the purchased license. It is more convenient than ACAD subscriptions.
Flexible Access to Upgrade
GstarCAD Licensing Mode is available with both Serial Number and USB Dongle, each could be used for Stand-alone or Network license. You could choose either one based on your business needs.
Flexible Access to Upgrade
You can upgrade your license for every new version or keep using the same version. When you upgrade your license it keeps perpetual license unchanged.
