Add .xyz export as file format

Add .xyz export as file format

Dear Autodesk,

 

At this moment there is a .pts export as file format.

 

Could you add the .xyz file format to this export option? It is a common format and not that hard to add to Recap.

 

One of the many reasons is, that by adding the xyz export, you directly have a workflow with Autodesk Powershape (and meshmixer). This program can't import .pts, but can import .xyz. 

 

At this moment at registering a scan I turn on the columns x, y and z. And turn off int, r, g and b. After that I export the scan as .pts and delete the first line in this .pts file (with notepad+). To finish I change the file extension name from .pts to .xyz. 

 

So besides deleting the first row, all the features are in Recap already, hope this can be integrated.

 

 

Hope you will take this minor, but rather nice upgrade in consideration.

This request assumes even more importance in the current context as the "Scan to Mesh" feature has been removed. The original Autodesk poitn cloud extensions rcp and rcs is not significant anymore as there are hardly third party tools that supporst these formats. Therefore a more generous feature extension in the form of support for xyz, pts, ply, stl for point cloud export.
