Hi all,
I have a point cloud in e57, registered and with photographs. When i import that e57 in ReCap, I skip the registration and just index the scans.
The resuls are a few scans with photographs and the rest remain unconstructed.
Any ideas how to get the full point cloud with photographs in ReCap just as I can see in it Cyclone?
No photographs in e57

Try to export as PTS and re import them to Recap.Also hope you didn`t unified the scans.

Hi Peyman,
I haven't unified the point cloud, so should I export with the following options ticked as per attached image?
Also, when I import in ReCap skip the registration, correct?
Thank you!

I find PTX is best export format for ReCap if you want the bubble views in ReCap.. (obviously not unified)

Re: No photographs in e57
+1 for BrettH's recommendation:
Reasoning behind it (as far as I understood it):
In E57 you can either write color information at every pixel information (so at the same position like the X; Y; Z data but on a differen layer; meaning in the point cloud data), or attach it at the end of the file as an image.
Leica is attaching the image, while ReCap is expecting it in the point cloud data.
In PTX you can't attach images, the color information is at the point location, so this should be fine.
