Import Point Clouds
To quickly import data, just drag and drop the files you want to import anywhere in the 3D scene. A wizard will appear to ask you for import options.
Otherwise you can use the Import Point Clouds button in the LineUp top toolbar.
If you're opening one or more point clouds by drag&drop (or by a LineUp® Scan Processing Wizard will appear. |
