This command allows you to import data from a LGS file.

Requirements

No selection is required to launch the command.


  1. You can import the file to have a Cloudworx cloud. CloudWorx clouds are added in the folder CloudWorx Group and can be converted later (see Convert Project for more information about the data conversion).

    1. Choose the unit in Unit options group (see example below).

  2. Or you can import data and convert them to have a standard cloud and images (See Convert Project for more information about the data conversion).

    1. It is possible to choose to extract the cloud, the images or both, using the checkboxes.

    2. Set Maximum number of points parameter. A selection of most representative points will be done in the CloudWorx cloud according to this limit.

    3. Check Spherical images if you want to convert the cubic images into spherical ones (if the project contains cubic images).

CloudWorx clouds always are read-only data. That is why the tree icon is a small red cloud images/download/attachments/122259534/CwCloud.svg . If you have just imported the data with the Import option, you probably have to extract the data later with Convert Project or From CloudWorx in order to use it.

Clouds are always imported in the WCS of the document.

Coordinate systems are all created in the document. The active one will be activated in the document.

Technical information

With a LGS File in meters, if you choose millimeters as Unit options, it means you are importing data in millimeters in your project. Thus, the data will be automatically scaled to match your project (1000 factor).
