this is amazing work. My dad used to work for the company that built both the forth bridge and the forth road bridge (dad actually worked on the road bridge) the Company was Sir William Arrol & Co based in Glasgow. so these bridges hold a special place in my heart as dad told us all about them as kids (i've been over that bridge on the train too many times to count :) sadly the company is now no more they built many famous bridges throughout the UK including tower bridge in London, the 2nd tay bridge, the humber and severn bridges and many others (dad also worked on the humber and severn) they also built many cranes up and down the country we couldn't go anywhere on holiday as kids without dad saying "built that, built that one too" :) dad was a plater by trade, RIP old man you were a legend. William Arrol also appears on the Scottish £5 note
As an experienced 3D modeller myself I'm absolutely delighted seeing these bridges - especially of course that legendary Forth Bridge... I've used pointclouds as well in as built situations, but obviously never to this extent. Brill 😎🙏

What software have been used?
Hello, are those 3D models available to public, please?
