Once this is done, you can experiment with the tools inside of MeshLab. Try to clean up any data that you don’t need in Recap. The data is imported into Inventor as a Mesh (as shown above). You are now able to interact with the meshed point cloud. However a less dense model may be perfect, depending on use case.

This model is full of gaps, but could be improved, by changing the accuracy of the import above. Share Improve this answer Follow edited at 18:59 answered at 18:53 Paul Gonet 32. Use a Grid Fill option (press Space and type Grid Fill ).

For a first run, I suggest exporting with a world unit of 0.1īelow is a mesh model created from the point clouds. 5 Answers Sorted by: 18 Select the whole loop around the hole with Alt + RMB (make sure to delete triangles first).

Depending on the complexity of the point cloud, and the fidelity of the mesh required, you will need to run a few experiments. rcs *.f|s *.fws ”.lsproj *.pts *.ptg *.pt>c*.zfs *.zfpj *.las *.laz *.xyz *.b Remeshing, Simplification and Reconstruction > Surface Reconstruction: Ball Pivoting

Open your Point Cloud in Recap (recap can open the following formats.

Here is the workflow that has worked for me.

Then clic on process and the 123dCatch model should be fitted at the photoscan model place.Have you ever needed to convert a point cloud to mesh data in Autodesk Inventor? While Inventor can import point clouds from Recap, point clouds can be un-usable in some workflows, especially when actual geometry is required to work with.Ĭonverting a point cloud to a surface model is currently not possible in 1 piece of software, however there is a workaround using Recap and some free point cloud software called MeshLab ( download link here)

Texture are not displayed and you cannot strafe, so it’s kind of tricky, however you do not need to be very preciseĭouble clic to mark a point, ctrl+double clic to remove a point press ok when everything is okĬlic for full resolution and see the 4 points This open a new windows, select 4 point on each model (at the same position of course. After these steps, exporting the mesh and opening it with Meshlab, I can finally see that the mesh file has the proper dimensions. in object mode, select all the meshes (press A), press CONTROL-A (apply menu), then select APPLY ROTATION, then again APPLY TRANSLATION, then APPLY SCALE. Select the 123dCatch model in the layer window and clic on point base gluing It seems that I found the solution at a unlikely place. While being sure that the photoscan model is selected clic on glue model here, this will freeze your photoscan model and ensure that the 123dCatch model is the one being moved You now have one project with 2 models, select the photoscan model on the layer window Then use file>import to open the scaled 123dCatch model Using filter>Normals, Vurvatures and Orientation>Transform: Scale, input your coefficient and press applyĮxport your rescaled OBJ, we will work with it.įile>import to import the photoscan model Scaling is done by applying a coefficient, so we haveġ23dCatchModel * coefficient = photoscanModelĬoefficient = photoscanModel/123dCatchModel Left : 123dCatch model, right : Photoscan modelįirst step, scaling, open the photoscan mesh and measure the distance betwen each pupilĭo the same thing for the 123dCatch model.

We will need to scale and orient the 123dCatch model so that it has the exact same ones that the photoscan model. So here we are, we have shitty pictures, 123dCatch made a good mesh, photoscan made a shitty one, but we want photoscan’s texture. Rescaling, rotating and translating a model so that it fits a similar one using meshlab
