Hi Gabrio
I've not used Solidworks, but have tried to use pointcloud data in SolidEdge (a completely different package, from a different manufacturer) which has some similarities in terms of the CAD. I'd suggest that both packages are much happier using meshes, solids and surfaces rather than point data.
Solidworks can accept point cloud data in basic ascii and text formats (http://help.solidworks.com/2018/english ... n_data.htm), however a cursory search online suggests that the package is not really geared for using large pointcloud data sets.
Having said that, there is an add-in available for Solidworks (XTract3D) which appears to offer much greater capability for using large pointclouds. https://www.polyga.com/xtract3d/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byYOFFe86EU
