BuildIT Construction: Importing & Exporting with SCENE

See the step-by-step instructions for IMPORTING and EXPORTING from SCENE

Exporting:

BuildIT Construction – exporting data from FARO SCENE to BuildIT Construction

It’s best to minimize the amount of data transferred from SCENE to BuildIT Construction.
There are two ways to do this:
 

First Method:

In Scene, using a clipping box, export just the area that you need to analyzed.
Export as .cpe export normal vectors.
 

Second Method:

Create a project point cloud and homogenise the point cloud.
Then export the project point cloud as cpe, and export normal vectors.

Importing:

BuildIT Construction – importing pointcloud from SCENE

Open BuildIT Construction
Click on File>Import> import CPE cloud
BuildIt importing CPE Cloud
 
If using a workbench, you can also use this:
BuildIt importing CPE Cloud 2
 
Select the file, and click ok
BuildIt importing CPE Cloud 3
 
Several scan formats can be imported.
  • Import Single Points
    • This import should be used for a small number of points, not a point cloud. Examples include reference points, control points, etc.
    • These file types include: .txt, .asc, .csv, .pts, .ref, and .xyz.
  • Import Text Clouds
    • This import should be used for point cloud files other than FARO files or E57 files, as listed below.
    • These file types include: .txt, .asc, .csv, .pts, .ref, and .xyz.
  • Import SCENE Clouds (FARO SCENE and Laser Scanner)
    • This import should be used for raw FARO Focus Laser scan data, and processed SCENE scans.
    • These file types include: .fls, .fws, and .lsproj.
  • Import E57 Clouds
    • This import should be used for E57 files.
  • Import LAS Clouds
    • This import includes LAS and LAZ files.
  • Import CPE Clouds
    • This import is used for the CPE file format from SCENE.
