Export Point Cloud to AutoCAD 2013
« on: April 21, 2016, 05:46:19 PM »
Hey guys it´s me again.

I can´t figure out a way to get my Point Cloud from PhotoScan into AutoCAD.
 
I already tried to do it like James explained it but every time I try to save the file Textpad crashes.
(http://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=1583.0)

It´s also not possible for me to export in PTS because the option is not available at export points.

I Have AutoCAD and MeshLab to work with.

Thx for you help zoos

Thankfully PhotoScan allows exporting to PTS since v1.2.1, which you should be able to index directly in AutoCAD 2013.

Otherwise, you can export in other formats, such as e57 and index in Recap before opening in AutoCAD.

Hey thx for your reply.

I did not had admin rights on my pc so i was not able to update to the 2.x version. Today I ask my Boss if he could update the program for me and he did.

After that I was able to export to pts and convert it to pcg with AutoCAD. Now I have to do a 2D layout of the crypt. I have never worked with AutoCAD before that is going to be fun ;)

Thanks for your help again James and the community. See you around ;)
