Automate Quotations From 3D Data: The Complete Python Guide
How to turn a 3D point cloud into net wall areas, material quantities and a renovation quote, step-by-step with Python
I love building things.
Woodworking above all, and always to make a space work better: more storage for the books I have accumulated over the years (I am an avid reader), a place for my workout and my sport, a better corner to play with my kids.
I am a bit crazy about it.
I am Florent Poux, Ph.D., author of 3D Data Science with Python, founder of the 3D Geodata Academy, and for 15 years I have solved 3D problems with AI for teams, and lately for my own home.
All of those projects come down to the same thing: renovating the space I live in, and very often extending it.
And for years, I measured the same wall ten times, wrote it on a piece of paper, and lost the paper.
So I said: let us stop this.
This one is dear to my heart, because I love the manual stage of things, and linking it to technology is amazing. As always, I share everything: I would love to see more people do this kind of thing, and all the hard-earned knowledge is now available right here…
