First generate normals on the loaded model: It is advisable to simplify large models by reducing the number of points ( Filters > Sampling > Poisson-disk Sampling). ASC files can be then directly imported into MeshLab. with 7-Zip)Ī point cloud read from any point file format into Autodesk ReCap need to be written (saved) to PTS file. You can download it from īe careful when installing this app in Windows 8 - you need to just unpack, not install the MeshLab installation file (e.g. In these cases, the freeware application MeshLab will help you. But in some situations you will need to have a real 3D model (even inaccurate as for details) of the scanned object instead of just a point cloud. All current versions of Autodesk CAD software (release 2014 and later) can directly work with these indexed point cloud files. The application Autodesk Recap provides advanced tools for processing and indexing of large point clouds, e.g. How to convert a point cloud to an editable 3D CAD model (mesh)?
