How does ReCap read normals in E57 pointclouds?

Hi guys,

I would like to import an E57 pointcloud (coming from a mobile scanner) with normals in Autodesk ReCap.

So my first question is: Does Recap always compute its own normals or is it able also to read the normals saved in E57?

The problem is that although the normals are saved in the E57 file and can be correctly visualized in CloudCompare, ReCap tries to re-compute them and then normals have wrong sign.

So my second question is: Is there a specific way that Recap expects the normals to be saved? and if yes could you provide me a sample E57 pointcloud that contains normals that can be correctly read by Recap.

 

Thanks!
