Deleted points not deleted in e57 export

Anonymous

Hi Support,

 

I have deleted points from a scan, then saved the project as a new one to ensure the points are permanently deleted (and they are no longer present when the project is loaded in ACAD, Navisworks, Revit, etc.), and then exported a complete e57 file including the per-scan information.

 

When I import this scan into other programs (including Recap), the deleted points return.

 

Is there a way to keep per-scan information upon e57 export, while ensuring deleted points are not present?

 

I have used Recap Pro 5.0.2.41 for this test, but have seen the same in earlier versions.

Hi @c.barribaud ,

 

ReCap doesn't remove deleted points from single e57 scan export yet. 

The points are deleted only when you export the whole point cloud to unstructured e57 file. 

 

Best,

Yan

I believe this is fixed now, but only if you save your project in ReCap and optimize the point cloud before exporting.

 

Edit: I was wrong... struggling to remember how I did this last time
