Hi,

In RealityCapture it was possible to import Laser Scans from terrestrial laser scanners.
However in RealityScan 2.0 I can only find option to import LiDAR Scan, and trying to use that option to import Laser Scans does not work.
Does it mean that RealityScan will no longer support importing data from terrestrial laser scanners?

Hello Mike,
the functionality for the terrestrial laser scans weren’t change. It should work as before.
Do you have Z&F laser scanner? If so, there is a bug for the import such data.

Yes I have Z&F laser scanner. I just tried converting it to .E57 file format in Recap and RealityScan imported that without any problem.
Thanks for help and for great software :slightly_smiling_face:

Do Laser scans need to have color information in order for them to be processed during import?

@Dim-Geo
No, they don’t need that.

So, regarding profile selection when importing, we still do select “color” in the initial menu?

It depends on your data. When there is also intensity, you can choose that option.
