Can you open an old project and convert viewpoints to key frames automatically?

Mark, excellent videos on what is possible with the new release. Clearly you moonlight as a truck stunt driver[emoji4]

Do you guys have any plans to introduce the ability to import a CAD model into the same coordinate system as the scan data ? i.e. features modelled in Rhino such as a building etc are exported back into Arena.

Yes you can Andy, but how do you align the CAD model to the scan data?

Greg,

If you're working with georeferenced data then it will just line up as the coordinate information will be the same.

However if you're not, then obviously there's an issue as the information in the two different files (Point Cloud vs CAD) will be completely different values.

You're not the first to ask for a solution to this and we're thinking about how it can be solved simply and intuitively.. so watch this space is all I can say for now!

Many Thanks

Mark

Thanks Mark. It's when working with non georeferenced data. I'm sure you guys will come up with a great solution and I understand that it's not a straight forward thing to resolve. I totally appreciate that you want it it to be intuitive as well. Nothing worse then a clunky work around.

Hi Bill, until I saw the results I was unsure of the benefit, but i was impressed and having been involved in the PointCloud world for 13 Years, there's not a lot that impresses me anymore, but the Oculus Rift integration has. The refresh rate is fine, and the virtual ability to sit in a vehicle, look from a window or walk a street is very powerful.
