Attach point cloud into C3D

qchenTPPXV — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 17:29:46 GMT

Greeting,

I want to figure out if you can attach the point cloud into C3D. The situation is I can attach the point cloud into C3D from my side. However, my colleague couldn't when I share with him the same file.

Another question, is it possible to import the point cloud into C3D and share with other in C3D?

Thanks for any helps.

Hi Qixing,
"attach the point cloud into C3D"
Sorry, no. The RCP Point Cloud file goes along for the ride as an attachment, same as an XREF or any imagery. When you pass the drawing you'll need to include the RCP and Support Folder.

Thank you very much for getting back to me. I saw the screenshot, and you can attach the point cloud. I assume that the files I provide is sufficient to attach the point cloud.

Do you know if there is any reasons that my colleague couldn't attach it? I know that it is a wired question. Just wondering if you have any ideas about it

Qixing,
Yes, if you provided the RCP and Support folder, your colleague probably just needs to "re-path" the RCP.

Hi,

You can also use Etransmit option too. It collects all the related data to the parent file and put it into a ZIP file where you can share.
