What's inside trimble realWOrkss?Trimble® RealWorks® software enables you to register, visualize, explore and manipulate as-built or scene point cloud data collected with virtually any laser scanner. Advanced, but very easy to use, Trimble RealWorks allows you to:

• Manage, process and analyze large datasets

• Perform smart measurement – semi-auto clearance, projected vertical and horizontal

• Communicate your results via video generation and Google Earth export (kml format)

• Perform automatic registration with or without targets

• Quickly check the quality of the targets

• Generate registration reports

• Efficiently integrate data from Trimble GNSS, Optical, and 3D Scanning instruments

• Easily export to the CAD design package of your choice

• Publish self-contained project packages for standalone viewing, exploration, measuring and annotating

While Trimble RealWorks is powerful enough to handle large datasets with ease, it is also very easy to use. The software guides you through sophisticated data management and manipulation tasks step-by-step to ensure you always reach your objectives and those of your customers.
