  • 3D Point Cloud problem

    Hi expert, I am having problems with the point data output, the position and height of the point cloud are not in the correct position. I have created cloud point data in LAS format, and imported it using Autodesk Recap to attach in Civil3D pictures…
  • How to get rotation and translation matrices for each image

    Hy everybody I am now working on a project to build a 3D point cloud from images using ContexCapture. And I need to know the projection relationship between each image and the 3D model. So, does anyone know how to find the translation and rotation matrices…
  • STL failed to import

    Hi all, I'm fairly new to Context Capture, but is there any reason for a 3sm file to "failure to load" when attaching it as an STL? I converted a 3mx file as a 3sm file and now I'm trying to import the 3sm file in as an STL Appreciate your help…
  • Point cloud imports for terrain model resulting in strange Z-values almost like segments (Cloudcompare to microstation)

    Hi, I'm using microstation V8i and cloudcompare v2.11.0. I've been using cloudcompare with LiDAR data to make terrain models of an area (mesh/surface). I wanted to have certain areas of more refined detail and some areas that didn't need it. I saved…
  • Importing FBX or OBJ files

    New to this process so I have a couple questions. What it the best format for export to a 3D mesh file? We are scaning outside objects Once we have the 3D mesh file created by ContentCapture (using the console) in FBX or OBJ format, what…
  • ContextCapture Cloud: missing functions

    I've been using ContextCapture Cloud for a while now, and there are some key functions I'm missing in the software as it is today. I’ve made a list of functions I see as key to optimize the workflow. The possibility to change coordinate system before…
  • Failed in tile production for PointCloud Reconstruction

    I was trying to do a 3D mesh of retouching of point clouds dataset. After submitting the production, the data process bar stuck at 48%. And it returned as failed and only the metadata.xml can be found in the folder. Attached the technical support…
  • Context Capture Master - Point Cloud problem

    I have update my CC Master Update 12, the I produce 3D point cloud in LAS format. Then, i open LAS files in Autodesk Recap, the point cloud is not in position and rotation. My setting is same as previous project, when i using CC Master Update 9. Screenshot…

  • Model Mesh from point cloud in Context Capture

    Hello, I'm new to ContextCapture. I'm using 10.366 version. I want to make Mesh model with point cloud, but when I import data, then it isn't showing in 3D view table. In Point Clouds table shows that it was successful import(showing number of points…
  • Filter points from LiDAR upon import to terrain model (or before?)

    I have LiDAR of an irregular stone object that I'm attempting to bring into Power GEOPAK as a terrain, using the "Create from Point Cloud" tool. It's working well, but my data needs cleaning up. In the process of importing, GEOPAK reports it filtered…
  • RE: Cant build 3D model from Pointcloud data (*e57) using Contextcapture edition.

    Hi, I've tested your data and it displays as it should do. Can you confirm which version of ContextCapture you are using and hw exactly you are adding the point cloud. Se the image below:
  • Change points density in point cloud generated from ContextCapture

    How can we change the point density in a point cloud file generated from ContextCapture? Do we need to change the point sampling (in that case, what does it actually mean)?
  • Vectorization buildings from point clouds, maid by Pix4d and Agisoft

    Hello! I use Agisoft program for the formation of clouds from photos. The corners of buildings obtained uneven and therefore vectorized structure in automatic mode does not work perfect, so I have to manual vectorization or adjustment. Does anybody know…
  • What is Bentley Pointools connect edition? is that an update to the current Pointools V8i.

    Can someone tell me if this is the updated version of Pointools V8i? or is this a completely new product where we would need to purchase additional licenses for given that we already own a few license of Bentley Pointools V8i.
  • Pointools V8i - Cloud disappears when the camera gets close

    When I'm viewing my attached POD's, the point cloud disappears when I approach it in the viewport. It appears to be a spherical distance from the point of view of the camera/viewport. I want to create an animation with a very close flyby of small grouping…
  • LAZ-clouds and arial drape?

    Hi, I need to re-color a bunch (100s) of LAZ point clouds based on matching ortho photos (probably ECW) and I don't know how to achieve this. I have access to microStation, Descartes and poinTools . 1. How do I re-color a bunch of point clouds using…
