Mirror balls visible in Autocad

Anonymous — Tue, 10 Sep 2019 16:11:11 GMT

I have attached a point cloud (from Recap 6.0) into AutoCAD 2018. The mirror balls of the scan locations are visible and will show in drawings created in AutoCAD. In the Recap file I have mirror ball visibility turned off and size minimized to 10.

Could it be that you are confusing mirror balls with registration spheres (targets)?

Registration spheres should be visible, because they are real objects, which have been scanned.

"Mirror Balls" are the representation of the positions your scanner was in and should only be visible in ReCap.

If you do not want your registration spheres to show up in AutoCAD, you will have to delete them in ReCap.

Thank you for your response. Actually we did not use targets when scanning. However I have found on my latest insertion of the point cloud into AutoCAD the mirror balls are no longer visible. Not sure what I did but it seems to be fixed. I appreciate your help but hopefully it's now solved.
