Full Version: Import cloud points options?

Show messages: All  1  2-12

I’ve done it before with Notepads “find and replace”

I think i resorted to excel once also. More powerful options for tuples..

I didn't ask Michael about it though. Maybe he has a more eloquent way…

A cool free prog about cloud points! ;)

Hi Matadem, here's a modified version of the ImportPointFile script which should handle your CAM program's point output.

This one should skip the G1 at the start of a line and will remove any X or Y label on the coordinates.

Instructions for installing a plugin here.

Hope this helps,

Michael can it do z as well?
I tried the script and it works fast and efficient as always.
Tnx!

Hi Matadem,

re:

I didn't see any z coordinates in your example, but it if it has a 'Z' label on it like it does for X and Y you can update the script to handle that.

Open the ImportPointFilematadem.js file in a text editor and on line 112 which currently has this:

			if ( val[0].toUpperCase() == 'X' || val[0].toUpperCase() == 'Y' )

Change it to this instead:

			if ( val[0].toUpperCase() == 'X' || val[0].toUpperCase() == 'Y' || val[0].toUpperCase() == 'Z' )

Sorry if I am interrupting this thread, but can this script import point clouds created via photogrammeyry. I use Zephyr3D for my photscans.

Cheers

The script can import points that are listed in .csv file.

It should be a text file with the x,y,z coordinates for one point on each line of the file.

Good day.
One more issue.
The script is working awesome.
When I probe walls and unusual shapes it works...

but today I found out that if I probe circles it will run another type report. and then the script will not work.
the new report looks like this
----------------------------------------

first is x the second y and the 3rd is radius.
Is there a way for the script to read the points and create the circles based on the radius info????

Tnx!

Hi Matadem, here is a circle reading script.
