Point Cloud File Capacity Limits

Is there a limit to the file capacity to import point cloud files to TM?

When I attempt to import an E57 file that is approximately 425GB in size, TM will be off during the import.

Importing small E57 files works well.

Please let me know the size of point cloud files that TM can support.

Thank you.

Hello ,

Thank you for posting in the community and I believe there isn't a limit but have asked for confirmation. I think because 425GB is way larger than the computer hardware can handle it will not work. I recommend working with 1GB-4GB files for best results with Twinmotion but larger files can work too. Since loading large information takes longer breaking down the 425GB in manageable data would be best.

Twinmotion uses Unreal Engine, thus you can reference the documentation to get more details on the hardware needs.

Hope this helps.
