GeoTiff export Data type

Post by sebok_akos »

Hello there!

I'm trying to export geotif raster files which I can load into Autocad Civil3D as a surface. When opening the .tif in Civ3D I get an error stating "Unable to read file". After a lot of head scratching and internet searching I found a solution: Cloudcompare saves the .tif file in Float64 data type, but Civ3D can't open it. I managed to convert it in Qgis to Float32 and it solved the problem.
The question is: Can I somehow change the exported data type to Float32 in Cloudcompare?
I'm planning on exporting many tiles of pointclouds this way, I can batch convert them in Qgis for sure, but that's a plus step I rather not take if possible.

Nope, unless you recompile the project and change this option directly in the code!
