Description

This tool imports 3D points from a point cloud file.

How to use

  1. Click on Points Import or use the menu Points → Import points.
  2. Select the file with point cloud and click Open.

Notes

  • The coordinates of the points should be read from a text file with the extension .asc.
  • Each line should have a collection of X, Y, Z coordinates separated by a space. The coordinates must use a decimal point, not a decimal comma.
  • After importing, your points will be selectable in the 3D view, and they can be snapped to using the Snap Endpoint method from the Draft Workbench.
  • The cloud point will be imported as a single cloud object. This is unlike the Draft Point tool which creates individual points.

Sample point cloud file

0 0 0
1.4562 -7.2354 12.2367
5.9423 3.1728 -17.6439

For testing you can use this ASC file, which is a low polygon version of the Stanford Bunny.
