Issue Description
Several point cloud files are available, which need to be loaded into the model space within the project file to represent a complete model. After importing the point clouds, the individual models are not aligned accurately in their original positions and appear misaligned.
Solution
To ensure that the point cloud files are placed in the correct positions, follow these steps:
Go to File > Interoperability > Import Point Cloud.
- Browse for your Point Cloud file.
- Choose Create and Place.
- Select the option to place the Point Cloud Origin at the Project Origin.
- Confirm with OK.
TIP: Alternatively, the point cloud files can be merged before importing into Archicad, using a program like CloudCompare, and saved as a single file. The maximum file size for importing e57 or xyz files into Archicad is 4GB.
