Export of Contextcapture point cloud or 3D mesh to Autocad

Hi,

I'd like to export a point cloud file or a 3D mesh file from Contextcapture to Autoacad Map 2018. I'd like to know in which format I have to export a production mesh in order to import it to Autocad?
I've tried all of them and it's impossible to import a mesh or cloud to Autocad.

What could you suggest?

Best regards

 

  • To view the model in AutoCAD you can produce a point cloud in LAS format. You should then be able to use Recap to convert to a format that AutoCAD can view

  • Hi Felix,

    Thanks for your answer. I'm ok now with this way to import point cloud to Autocad.

    Now, what about a 3D mesh (smart mesh) generated from ContextCapture?

    To be more precise, here after what I've done:

    - Contextcapture (Master) can generate a smart mesh (*.dgn) retouching model with the good Spatial Reference System (UTM30-N), =>ok 

    - Contextcapture (Editor): to open the dgn file and to save it in dwg format => ok

    - Autocad Map 3D with Covadis module: open the dwg file => ok, but not in the good Spatial Reference System which should be UMT30-N + EGM96

    I'm sure it's the correct way to use in order to get a good 3D mesh for Autocad. ContextCapture Editor seems no easy to use.

    If you have good advice, I'll take it.

    Best regards
