Merge multiple point clouds,but when exported visible only one.

Post by gobi »

Hi,

I have big project which I divided in 5 sections when creating dense point cloud and mesh in Reality Capture.
Now I want to merge it in CC, and I did. And it works, complete structure is visible in one box and file. But when I export it in .las, and try to open again, I can see only first section. I am new at using CC.

So you did use the 'Edit > Merge' option?

And you are speaking of meshes, so I'm not sure what you export as a LAS file. The mesh vertices? Or a cloud sampled over the mesh surface?

Hi,

I made it. Yes I did use Edit - Merge, it merge everything as it should, problem was after exporting. After opening file, point cloud was not complete, there were only 1/5 of it - first one.

But, when I trimmed edges of area, of merged point cloud- and exported again it worked great. I have my 5 point clouds merged into one.
SO, a little bit of trimming helped.
