Point Clouds

Did some scanning last week. Had 2 pointclouds in the program. I exported both point clouds (one at a time) into XYZ files using the current alignment.

These point clouds pull into Geomagic just fine. I wanted to show something to someone today in the program, and one of the point clouds was empty. I did not empty it. It was still there when I saved the program after I exported both point clouds.

So, I tried to import the missing point cloud. It will not import into the correct location, as it it is off by almost 2000mm. I even tried using each alignment in the program, and NONE of them will import the point cloud into the right location.

What is going on with this?

  • As much as i like pcdmis I have found in regards to the scanning it is finicky in regards to the sequence in which things are done and more times then not just all around problematic. When it works it seems to work well, but when it wants to act up it seems like it really goes out of its way.

    Scott if you can get that to happen as far as the recovery goes with the stated work around I would suggest forwarding that on to HEX because maybe there is a issue with the point cloud and the auto save function that you maybe found. Like i was saying if you can prove out a workaround that works it might help them find a solution. Good luck guys
