Importing Leica 3D Disto Scan Data
Yeldawg
Member Posts: 4 ✭
Hello,
I work for a custom metal fabrication shop that specializes in staircases and steel cladding. We use a Leica 3D Disto Scanning tool to survey spaces that we'll be building in. This software allows us to import locations in space and planes to base our fabrication model off of. We typically design in Solidworks, but I'm exploring using OS. Is there anyway to input this data into OS?
Thanks

I suspect your talking about point cloud data. You will likely have to convert the point cloud data to surface data like stl or similar before using it in onshape. if you scanner creates surface data, you should be able to import it.
Thanks for the responses, the question is now moot, at least for me. I just lost my job, the company folded.
So sorry to hear this. Prayers and thoughts to all involved to find a path forward.
Sorry to hear that @Yeldawg.

That's tough. Sorry to hear.
Maybe the hiring thread could help?
