In some circumstances, it might be needed to display an external point cloud, for example for comparison purposes. PIX4Dmapper can display an external point cloud for visualization.
To use the external Point Cloud for processing please switch to this other article: How to import a Point Cloud delivered by an External Source into PIX4Dmapper.
To visualize an external Point Cloud in the rayCloud:
1. Open the project.
2. On the Menu bar, click View > rayCloud.
3. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the external Point Cloud.
4. Drag and drop the Point Cloud file into the left sidebar, in the section Layers, in the layer Point Clouds.
For more information about the layer Point Clouds: Menu View > rayCloud > Left sidebar > Layers > Point Clouds .
Hi
I'm using Pix4Dmapper trial. I have followed the steps as the above article. But I don't see where external point cloud that I have imported (.las format and same coordinate with point cloud in Pix4D). I run only step3 then but the DSM results are not generated from an external point cloud. Could you help me, it is nice if that is a video tutorial?
Thanks so much
Thanh
