point cloud black in 2014

Hello All

 

I have a pointcloud that I converted in 2014 and it is comming in all black with no shades of gray.  Tried coloring the scans with no success.  If I convert with Autocad 2012 and open with 2013 navis it comes in correct.  I have tried:

importing settings from 2013 navis

changing display graphics options

changing file reader options .dwg and faro

 

I have tried just about everything, can anyone help.

I am attaching a screenshot of both open. I had to change my background to white in 2014 to make is show up.

 

Thanks!

Whats the source of the point cloud - raw PTS, Faro database, ReCap, other?  Have you check the Options settings for the point cloud type?

It's a Pcg file straight from auto cad. If I index with 2012 cad and let navis 2013 create the nwc it is fine. I can open the 2013 nwc with 2014 navis.

It's a work around but it works. Still need to find out why it's happening. Not everyone in the office has older software loaded on their computer still.
