Did your scanner software not have an option to mesh the point cloud data?
Try MeshLab
It would be faster than SketchUp
we use a leica rtc 360 with register360 and the pointcloud file i have a e57 file. im new to this an dont know what i am doing lol jus trying to figure it out.
is there an extension that can convert a point cloud scan into a model? i scanned a car with a 3d scanner and have the point cloud data. i want to turn the point cloud data of the car into a model.

A quick and dirty way would be to use your accurate model as a texture.
Put your view to Top and Orthographic and File > Export > 2D Graphic and make sure its .png with Transparent Background checked...
Now bring the image in Sketchup as a texture and go crazy making lo-poly versions..

so this is exactly what i want but when i try to do this i cant get the 2d image to lay properly across the 2x2. any idea why? i have attached an image as well at the modeled piece
Hello, I am somewhat new to sketchup and was wondering if there was a way to add a 2d image to a face of a object that will stretch when you scale the piece larger or smaller.
I build screen enclosures for a living and use sketchup to do layouts for different projects. I have modeled the parts 100% accurate but I have issues when I want to cut say a 45degree angle on these parts. I can’t just draw a 45degree line and cut it. I have to draw the cut on each radius of the spline grove an it makes it really time consuming. What I would like to do is create a 2”x2” square tube and just make a 2d image with 2 lines on each end about 1/8-1/4” in from the edge. This way the groves aren’t actually modeled and I can cut any degree in the piece quickly. I have attached a image of what the part actually looks like for reference. Hopefully I explained this properly and someone can help guide me. It would be greatly appreciated
