3D model (mesh) export // reduce to points only?

[toxicmag]

Dear members,

i'd like to export the mesh of a survey to the wide field of autodesk (mainly AutoCAD) tools for my client.
I decided to use DXF 3DFaces but the scale of the model was lost and there was no reference left.

I have two questions now:
1) Is there an export format which keeps these information?

2) Is it possible to reduce the mesh information on it's referenced points only (and having AutoCAD doing the meshing)?


Thanks a lot.

Alex

Hello Alex,

Which coordinate system you are using in the Export Model dialog?

Hey Alexey,

sorry for the late reply.

The loss of coordinates of course was my fault.
Stupidly chose wrong system for export.   

But question2 still is open. It would be a good feature to somehow reduce the model size to just it's points and there coordinates. autocad seems to be quite limited in handling bigger files and it's painful for the client.
I know i could reduce by smoothen mesh, but that's not what i want. I want to keep the good information and have a nice and dense mesh. But i don't need all the faces to be exported as well. They are dumb anyway as far as i realized.

Thanks for your reply.
Was nice meeting you guys at Intergeo in Hamburg.

 

Keep up the good work

Alex
