032 Point clouds and BIM modeling

Summary from the Podcast website:

“They are everywhere. When you ask for the erection of a building, a plot, a city, we are bombarded with the star product of the topography: the point cloud.

But is all that glitters gold? Do we really need millions and millions of points to raise a partition?”
