brookesdesign Posted yesterday at 05:37 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:37 PM (edited) I've been using the iGuide Planix R1 lidar to scan floor plans. For a very low fee I can get the lidar scans as a DXF file. If I open them in Autocad I can see the data but when I import the DXF (or dwg) into Chief (X17) I only get the squares that show where the camera was show up but none of the scan points import. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like in AutoCAD and the associated DXF file. The lidar scans are just a bunch of points. I've tried saving the DXF as a DWG but I get the same results. floor_1.dxf Edited yesterday at 05:47 PM by brookesdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted yesterday at 06:17 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:17 PM Try importing as elevation data and all your points should come in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to select / highlight the layer before the Convert Selected Layer(s) tool will do anything... Once you do this though, you should get the following import... Its a terrain perimeter with a bunch of elevation points and lines at this stage, but if you create a CAD Detail From View you can get it all into CAD form.
