I'm a land surveyor and I perfom a lot of 3D laser scanning, or High Definition Surveying, of large areas in industrial settings. Recently we have run into a few prospective clients running solidworks. I was wondering what type of format we would need to export our point cloud for a solidworks end user, and will solidworks be able to handle large amounts of point cloud data? Has anyone used 3D laser scanning data in solidworks?
Thanks
I would take a look at 3rd party processing software that would get the data sub sampled, and edited s.t. you can be productive in SW with it.
Or take a look at Rapidform Software.
