Point Cloud Convert Failed

Question

Hi Forum

trying to import a Leica .bin point cloud into AECOSim V.08.11.09.593 SS4 and the conversion process allows me to open the conversion box, but them once i allow it to convert, what looks like from the .bin to a .pod file, it says 'Convert Failed'.

2 screen shots to follow. SS1 below shows an error about different units. This .bin point cloud is a from a client so initially i thought i'll change my working file this is being imported into [its blank] so the untis match. did this

now it says:

'Convert Failed' again, but i dont see any clues on how what or why? Any help?

I had similar problem with ALS Point Clouds. I tried to convert las file to pod with Microstation, PointToolsPod Creator and with plain PointTools with no success. Each time I got Convert Failed message. 
 
I was investigating that and discovered that it is sth with golocation written in las file header. Then I used opensource SAGA GIS software and just imported las to SAGA and exported back to las. Then I could create pod with all Bentley software. 
 
I hope you my find this helpfull. 
 
Kindly,
