How to save TLS/GBL info into a pointcloud file

Post by smileymoody »

Hello,
I have a 3D LiDAR (Velodyne VLP-16), it can output point cloud in either .ply or .pcd format. I'm trying to use CC to artificially add TLS/GBL info and export as .e57 format so I can import it to photogrammetry software (I use Reality Capture). However, after I created the TLS/GBL info as a child and saved the entire cloud file as a new file. TLS/GBL info is still missing in the new file. Did I do something wrong? Please help.

Sadly CC doesn't export sensor info in E57 files. This would need to be added (by a motivated contributor ;).
