This command converts a CloudWorx cloud (Read-only) to a standard cloud. It also can extract trajectories (mobile scans only) and images. Thus, you will be able to use all functions.

Requirements

Load a CloudWorx cloud and launch the command.


  1. The Data type is automatically detected.

  2. Set the Maximum number of points parameter. A selection of most representative points will be done in the CloudWorx cloud according to this limit. If the conversion takes a lot of memory, a dedicated message will indicate the amount of required memory and the current amount of free memory.

  3. Images conversion:

    1. Static: check Convert CubeFace images to spherical images if you want to convert the cubic images into spherical ones (if the project contains cubic images).

    2. Mobile: you can adjust the Minimum step distance between images to reduce the number of imported images and you can Import side photos coming from TRK devices (if the project contains such images).

Tips & Tricks

  • To extract a part of a CloudWorx cloud, you have to select it using limit plane, slice or box functions before launching the command:

    • Only images inside the unclipped area will be extracted.

  • The command is also accessible from the Contextual menu.

Notes

  • For IMP data, the number of kept points should be lower (half of requested points) and the maximum is about 50 million.

  • Perspective and spherical images will be grouped in a set of images (see Image management).

  • Image masks will be generated while converting.
