Failed to create LCF file when importing Point Cloud

I hope someone can help.

I'm created a point cloud from a photogrammetry I took with my drone. The original file was 1.8 GB and 15M points. I got the error: Failed to create LCF file from point cloud file. So i reduced the file to 6.6 MB and only 2.5M points. I get the same error. I've attached the original photogrammetry file made with RealityScan and then the two point cloud files (large and reduced) if it helps you to troubleshoot my issue.

Thank you in advance!

Operating system used: Windows 11 24H2

hello,

I could import the pointcloud without any errors. Which archicad version are you using?

1.8 GB should not be a problem

I was able to get it to work in ArchiCAD 27 template, but not in ArchiCAD 28
