Hello,
Bump.
My company would like to get a 3D scanning system, but not sure which one to get.
I've got Trimble's 'Realworks' installed and a sample point cloud (1.2GB file!) in which I'm converting to geometry.
The folks at Trimble haven't had any experience going from their point cloud to ArchiCAD. I have had no luck exporting from Realworks into ArchiCAD. Of the file formats Realworks exports to, DXF, DGN, DWG and OBJ are the only ones compatible with AC, and none of them produced a model in ArchiCAD.
Has anyone successfuly converted a point cloud or point cloud based geometry to an importable file that ArchiCAD can use?

I am shooting from the hip here and have not experience (but a lot of interest)... But if a POINT CLOUD generates an XYZ file, how well will AC14 interpret that directly?
