Can not index a FARO scanned file (.fls) to create point cloud
Can not index a FARO scanned file (.fls) to create point cloud
I have a scanned file from a FARO scanner. The file type is ".fls". When I try to index it in Inventor 2013 to convert it into a .pcg point cloud file, I get the error as shown on the attached screen shot. Also attached are my system properties.
I was able to index the same .fls file using AutoCAD 2013, however, I want to do it in Inventor. Can anyone help?
I'm not familiar with Inventor but you can try to search Inventor's installation directory for the FARO DLL files and overwrite them with the new versions (similar like the AutoCAD/Navisworks/Revit solution http://tinyurl.com/d2bcmh4).
Your proposed solution [http://tinyurl.com/d2bcmh4] worked for my AutoCAD 2013. But for Inventor 2013, I do not know what folder to copy the FARO .dll file into. The solution hyperlink only specifies the .dll file location for AutoCAD ( C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2013\IndexCodecs) and not for Inventor. Inventor 2013 does not have a folder called IndexCodecs.
What folder in the Inventor installation directory do I need to put the FARO .dll files into?
What folder in the Inventor installation directory do I need to put the FARO .dll files into?
I don't know, but if you search Inventor's installation folder (including all subfolders) after iQOpen.dll for example, you should be able to find out the correct folder.
Got it. The correct location in Inventor 2013 is: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Bin After copying the .dll files into this folder Inventor was able to index the .fls file.
