Malcolm Crowe Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) I have a Point Cloud (PTS file format) that imports at the wrong scale (x1000). How can I set the import units of Point Clouds? Our other software provides us with the option to choose the units when importing Point Clouds, but I can't find an option within IRONCAD.

jolizon590016 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Hi Malcolm, I am not sure as I can recall, I've used CloudCompare in the past to correct the scale before opening to IronCAD. It was a long time ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Never really used point clouds but do you think change the default units before importing will help? This has helped my on several occasions with importing 3D models. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Hi Tom, changing the default units of the Scene was the only option that I could find. I tried both mm and m, and it didn't make a difference. Hi Joseph, thanks for the suggestion regarding CloudCompare. Rather than install more software I might try achieving the same result with our other CAD software, since it can both import and export Point Clouds. Ideally though I'd like to be able to adjust the units or scale the Point Cloud in IRONCAD. Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 CloudCompare is the best option until we get unit settings for point cloud and scaling ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
