So I came across a Part without a CAD model, made a pointcloud, exported it out as IGES. and when I try to import it into Solidworks or even back into PC-DMIS, it is grossly slow, and sometimes when the pointcloud is huge it won't even load. Wondering if there is a trick or if you can down size it, or maybe there is a trick to exporting the pointcloud so one could create an actual good model in Solidworks or other product, that might be friendly. I have created Mesh and exported them out as STL, but these are sloppy and not as friendly, but they do load a lot easier. Any tid bits anyone have to offer?
neil.challinor perhaps?
Try exporting the pointcloud as XYZ instead maybe? How many points are in the cloud? Have you tried filtering it to remove noise / clean it up in PC-Dmis prior to exporting it?
Yeah, cleaned it up as much as I can. It's from the blue light scanner, so your talking millions of points. I'll try the XYZ and see if that helps.
