I am working with point cloud in SketchUp but can not find an effective way to import the point cloud data into the software. I know there have some discusses with this topic, but I can not find an answer of my question.
What I have are mobile scan based point cloud data and it seems that SketchUp does not support this kind of data. And, as there are more than 100K points included in a single file, I do not know it is possible to play in SketchUP or not.
There seems a way that convert the LAS file into DXF file and then import it into SketchUp, but I have tried several times and always receive the warning said not enough data per line with this delimiter. Furthermore, it is not easy to create a solid DXF/DWG files for point cloud data, though Global Mapper and Trimble Reaworks can help.
Another way I know is to use Cloud V8B plugin. It is easy to import a small CSV file that included in the download package as samples, but when I transferred my data into CSV format and imported it into SketchUp, no warning comes out but seems no response with drawing. Should I be patient to wait for the processing for couple of hours or even days?
Is there any other ways to solve the problem? Or could anybody draw the details steps of importing point cloud into SketchUp for me?
Much appreciate your time.
