Import LGSx
This command allows you to import data from a LGSx file.
Requirements
No selection is required to launch the command.
Give the password, if any.
You can import the file to have a Cloudworx cloud and limit objects. CloudWorx clouds are added in the folder CloudWorx Group and can be converted later (see Convert Project for more information about the data conversion).
Select the Coordinate System which will become the project WCS.
Choose the unit in Unit options group (see Technical information).
Or you can import data and convert them to have a standard cloud, trajectories (only mobile scans) and images.
Choose between static and mobile scans.
Set Maximum number of points parameter. A selection of most representative points will be done in the CloudWorx cloud according to this limit.
Images options depend on the source file:
Static scans: the option Convert CubeFace images to spherical images allows to convert the cubic images into spherical ones (if the project contains cubic images).
Mobile scans: you can set a Minimum step to import images every x meters along the trajectories and you can Import side photos coming from TRK devices (if the project contains such images).
Notes
CloudWorx clouds always are read-only data. That is why the tree icon is a small red cloud
. 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.Objects are always imported in the WCS of the document. In other words, coordinates in the coordinate system chosen at import, are identical to coordinates when the WCS is activated.
Perspective and spherical images will be grouped in a set of images (see Image management).
Technical information
With a LGSx 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).
