DXF Import from iGuide Planix R1

[brookesdesign]

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.

Try importing as elevation data and all your points should come in that way.

Thanks Michael.  I just tried your suggestion (see image) and still nothing.

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.
