Hi Rusty, that's not good advice from Pilou (sorry Pilou).

Fundamentally the point cloud data collected by a 3D scanner is not suitable for direct conversion into CAD surfaces and solids.

It's a specialized and difficult process to go from a point cloud to a CAD model.
It's an area of work called "Reverse Engineering", some previous discussion here:

It's not a matter of just formatting the data differently, the scanner generates a big set of points. Those can be formed into a huge mass of triangles which is what you'll have in the .stl , .ply, or .obj outputs.

You can bring a big bunch of triangles into a polygon mesh editing program (like Blender, Cinema4D, 3DS Max, etc...) but it's very different from the structured accurate surfaces that is used for CAD programs like MOI.

So it is a difficult problem and it is not likely that there is just a "push a button" type method to do it other than making very poor quality CAD data with just every triangle as a trimmed plane. That isn't what CAD programs are designed to work on.

The main advice is "don't do that".
