Converting CAD points into a point cloud

If you are encountering large lists of points provided in a CSV format and would like to import those points into TBC as a point cloud rather than individual CAD points. You may try the following:

  • Point data should be structured in the CSV as either:
    1 - Point Name, Easting, Northing, Elevation,
    2 - Easting, Northing, Elevation (point names omitted)

if you are going to import without point names change your file extension from .csv to .xyz Then simply import the xyz to import the points as a cloud

if the csv does have point names then you should change your file extension from .csv to .pts Then you may import the pts to import the points as a cloud.
