Importing Large Digitization Files

In the Source area, select the file Format from the list .

The batch import supports all these formats.

In the Source box, choose whether a single file (File on disk) or all the files from a directory are to be imported (Directory on disk).

Choose the Location and Filename of the file to be imported.

You can select:

A single file by clicking File on disk.
Several files by clicking Directory on disk and all the clouds of points of this directory will be imported. The directory can contain files with different source Coordinate Reference System (CRS: coordinate system in which the points are defined. CRS must be a cartesian projection system).

In the Target area, if the Context (level in which the point cloud will be inserted) is not displayed, select it.

To manage geolocation in destination structure, in the Referential box do either of the following:

Select Local: The Part in which the import is done is not geolocated. Then define the length Unit (meter, kilometer, etc.) in which the data are stored in the file.
Select the Coordinates Reference System (coordinate types) in which source data are expressed, from the list of the CRS saved in the database. It is automatically chosen when defined in the source file.

Optional: Click

to display the CRS information.

Click Import.

Save your product.

To update a point cloud, relaunch the Import command in the context that already contains the PLM representation.
