About 3DXML Import/Export of Large Clouds of Points

It is possible to export or import a 3DXML containing the PLM Representation which embeds the large point cloud.

When the large cloud of points has been stored on file repository, only the PLM Representation pointing to the files is exported. Files content is not exported. When importing the 3DXML(As new) in a different database, the PLM Representation naturally retrieves the same location. If the files no longer exist or are no longer accessible, nothing is displayed.

When the cloud of points has been stored on database repository, the PLM Representation pointing to the files is exported together with the files content.

Note: The 3DXML can be huge.
When importing the 3DXML (As new) in a different database, the PLM Representation is generated and the database is also populated with the file streams. Import can thus be time consuming.
