The record

What it does: Quick Terrain Modeler is 3D point cloud and terrain exploitation software designed for LiDAR and other 3D data sources.
Visualize: It can display point clouds and surface models in 3D scenes and drape file-based or WMS imagery over them.
Analyze: Analysis tools include 3D measurement, slope, flood, volumetric, communications, and helicopter landing zone analysis.
Extract: Its classification and extraction tool can extract building footprints, roof vectors, and centroids and generate DSM and DTM products.
Data compatibility: It supports data from LiDAR, radar, photogrammetry or imagery, and sonar, including multiple sensor types in one scene.
Exports and integrations: It offers export options for GIS, imagery, CAD, PowerPoint, and Google Earth, and supports WMS imagery and NGA GRID access for DoD users.
Offline use: Quick Terrain Modeler functions without a network connection, though some integrations and data access features require one.
Security and restrictions: The maker says it can be used on classified networks and workstations, and notes that components are export-restricted.
License choices: Node Lock is tied to one workstation, Portable uses a USB dongle that can move between workstations, and Floating supports network access and concurrent use when multiple licenses are available.
Platform: Quick Terrain Modeler is a 64-bit Windows application and does not run directly on macOS; the maker says some users run it on Macs with Boot Camp and Windows.
Trial: A free trial license is available, and downloading it requires an organizational email address rather than a generic email address.
Support and training: The maker provides tutorials, a help file, live WebEx training, and self-paced video training; the training portal has no charge for users with an active maintenance agreement.
Intended users: The maker says Quick Terrain Modeler serves DoD and civilian applications and has users across the military branches and intelligence community.
Company history: Applied Imagery says it was founded in 2004 in Silver Spring, Maryland, to commercialize software developed at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Lab.
