The aim of this work was to investigate different software for processing point clouds obtained by 3D laser scanning. The work was carried out within the company LES CAD d.o.o., which deals with interior design and uses the TopSolid modelling program for its work. During the research we obtained an overview of laser scanning devices and tested the Leica RTC360 scanner by scanning an office. We tested the following point cloud processing programs: MeshLab, CloudCompare, Revit, Rhino and AutoCAD. The goal was to obtain from the point cloud a file suitable for importing into TopSolid and to create an accurate 3D model of the room, which would allow further modelling of the interior in the selected room. With the right choice of software and the appropriate approach, we managed to obtain a file for importing into the modelling program and create a model of the room. We found that choosing the right software and procedure reduces the file size and facilitates further modelling of the furnishings in the selected room. The processing time is not reduced, but the time needed to measure the objects is significantly shorter when scanning is used. For LES CAD d.o.o., which deals with interior design, processing the point cloud in AutoCAD and creating the final model in TopSolid is the most suitable approach. In this way, a model of the space is obtained that provides sufficient accuracy for further work.
