Civil 3D 2015 Point cloud only showing 1 point

I've been searching on the internet now and then but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I try to import this (78GB) PTS scan into Civil 3D but it only shows 1 point out of 60 million points... and I have no idea how to display more points, whenever I try to create a surface it says that it will export 1 point to the surface.

Does somebody got any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

I attached a screenshot.

Is it the point cloud density slider setting?

No I tried that, and it's around 50% so... around 30 million points.

I figured it out... :S

It seems the pount cloud source was in US decimals and my system is set to NL decimals... so all values are multiplied by 1000, which probably makes the point cloud too spread out and it starts excluding points. Changed my system to US decimals and reimported the pount cloud and everything is working fine.
