ericepv Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I am working with a client on an historic building restoration. There is a 3D laser scanned file of the building available but it is saved in .fls & fle formats. Is there anyone out there ho would be able to open this file and export it to a Chief compatible format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renerabbitt Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Never heard of those formats, can you give more information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Vectorworks can open these types of files - but i'm not exactly sure what i'd save it back into in order to get to CA that is usable. I'm all for trying to help if you can think of what I would export to. My guess it it would have too many faces and artifacts for something other than the native file type.

It may indeed overwhelm my system but I need to get it into a Chief readable format first to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
