See light brown wall in both screen captures? Behind this is a mile of mesh, when you move towards this Wall the model just gets smaller. This happen after I had the Mesh in the dwg, then I imported the PT cloud and processed it.
Mesh came from Pix4d and the pt cloud same data but processed in Recap.

I would call US CAD for support put that is pretty much a waste of time!
Bill,
Is your country kit message something like the attached image?
If so, the easiest way is probably to open <modelname>.files/unver/ModelSettings.json and remove the RequiredContentPacks key in there. the reason why you get this is probably that the model was created with a sandbox Infraworks may be, which has these two content packs (on model creation, all available content packs are selected by default), and then the model was opened with a release infraworks, which does not have these content packs
And for the love of God, give us a Zoom to button for any selected object like we have in Civil 3D for everything! How hard can it be?
Ten mins later I now see this? What the heck is this? I can orbit it all day long but this is all I see? A diamond shaped object?
Bill, Do you have the rcs or las file for me to check it out?
I was asking for point cloud to get geolocation information. Irrespective of how your processed, if you can upload las or RCS, I can check it out.
Since OBJ doesn't seem to have Geo Location information, I can use some location details to place it.
got the point cloud, ran terrain generation, got the terrain to drop FBX, imported FBX, used interactive placing and can see the mesh as shown here. Is this what you are trying to achieve?
This is what I get. Elevation is way off and can't seem to get the mesh to raise up to meet the Terrain.
and only after I played with the slider bars for the Visualization.
If you click the mesh, the edit handles (usually appear in the corner of the object) should let you raise or lower (using Z axis). Thats what I used to position in this case. Since the fbx doesn't carry geo location information, the Z is off and this step is needed.
Attached is the quick fly through video I created for this data. I kept the mesh slightly above the terrain to give importance to mesh for visualization purposes.
Hi @civilguy08 ,
all symptoms you are experiencing when importing the OBJ file - long waiting time, preview in data source configuration looks fine, object is far away from earth and almost in space, diamond shaped thing - points to an issue with coordinates or units.
InfraWorks is not able to position and scale the OBJ correctly to the correct location and size. It results in extra large coordinates and places the model way off.
It could be a units issue, for example millimeter versus meter.
I have taken a look at your data on DropBox and found the following:
This is what I get after loading all data sources into InfraWorks.
Placement of the OBJ will be challenging as it's not georeferenced. and needs to be placed interactively.
Regards,
Karsten.
Could you tell me what view settings you have set to see the ptcloud and mesh so nice in your screen capture?
While I'm in Recap and assembling the PT Cloud from the LAS files everything looks good. But when I import the RCP file into Infraworks this is what I see. I have gone out and updated my graphic driver GTX 1080 ti to the lastest version and still get this. Also if I try to orbit around the model will start to disappear and re-appear at will.
Thanks for both our your help! Much appreciated.
