Hello,
I read in a presentation on the ASTM e57 file format that it was meant for archiving purposes and not as a working format in contrast to ptx.
The filesize would match this approach (80GB e57 vs 230GB in ptx).
My question is whether the chosen format changes how RC works? Does ist affect the speed of the calcuations or maybe the quality of the meshes?
Hi Linus

Probably some old info 
E57 is a result of a good implementation of an interchangeable format for various data types with good compression.

Nor speed of calculation or quality of meshes. Both file formats contain the same data…
