Model Data in Multi-Dimensions

Gain deeper insights into your data when viewed in three-dimensional space. Surfer’s 3D viewer makes it easy to model, analyze, and understand all aspects of your data. Switching between Surfer’s 2D and 3D perspectives ensures you discover all of your data’s patterns and trends.

Achieve a 360⁰ Perspective

  • View point data and surfaces in true 3D space
  • Rotate your map
  • Walk along the surface
  • Adjust the vertical exaggeration
  • Add X, Y or Z axes to gain a frame of reference
  • Note the X, Y or Z position of the cursor in the status bar
  • Create and record fly-through videos to share with others
  • Export the model to an image file, like JPG, TIF or PNG
  • Copy the display and paste it into reports and presentations

LiDAR Point Clouds

LiDAR is an increasingly popular data collection method used within many fields including archaeology, surveying, GIS, and more. Use Surfer’s extensive LiDAR processing and visualization features to take advantage of all that LiDAR has to offer.

Surfer's LiDAR Point Cloud Features

  • Create a point cloud from multiple LAS/LAZ files
  • Assign color by elevation, intensity, return number, or classification
  • Select points interactively or by criteria
  • Remove, reclassify or crop to selected points
  • Create a grid from the point cloud or export to LAS/LAZ
  • Visualize all aspects of the data in the 3D view

 

Surfer's LAS/LAZ Filtering Options

  • Spatial filtering based on XY bounds or elevation data limits
  • Import every Nth point
  • Import only the desired Return type or Classification values
  • Import data with specified Source ID
  • Flag filters such as scan direction, edge of flight, or synthetic, key, and withheld points
