Modeling Lidar Data into 3D object

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm trying model a point cloud into a 3D object.  The object is a large underground combined sewer overflow that was mapped with a lidar scanner.  The point cloud has been processed into an RCP file.  I am trying to turn the RCP file into a 3D object in Civil 3D.  The pipe is over 3,000 feet long and changes diameter along the whole length of the project.  We are working with over 120 million points in the point cloud.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

ReCap Pro will upload your model to Autodesk's cloud, where it will be processed into a mesh.

Yeah, but a mesh of that size may well be unusable.  Should probably chop it up into useable chunks (and possibly decimate/clean up) to create workable mesh "chunks".

@Anonymous - got a screen shot or two, so we can see what you're working with?
