Reducing density of points from a POD as imported in microestation.

We are trying to generate solids in a dgn file to work in microestation from a POD file via importing the cloud and using the xyz coordinates tool to import the points before creating a mesh by point, we want to reduce the density of the points to say some 10%, as when trying to mesh the file crashes.

Is there a way in microestation to reduce the density of those points before converting to a mesh?

Unfortunately we don’t have Descartes at present.

  • Double click on your POD file and in Element Information look at the Number of Points in the Metadata section,  When you do the Export set your density to the value you want it to be and create your XYZ file.  If you convert your XYZ file in Point Cloud and look at the Number of Points in Element Information you will see that the number is less that the original POD file.
