Faro Focus import, colors missing

Post by fifteen3617 »

Hi,

I've found several old threads about this topic, some 9 years old, and I'm wondering if the issue has been fixed and I'm just not importing correctly.

Importing a Faro Focus scan project folder (the unit is from roughly 2022) the cloud imports fine, but colors are only greyscale (seems like intensity-based). When importing there is a popup asking to import rgb colors (yes) or luminosity (no). Clicking either one leads to the same result, no rgb colors. Faro Scene or Autodesk ReCap import colors without problem, as was the case with some previous threads about the issue.

Has anyone gotten Faro fls scan projects to import with color? I'm aware that the Focus units have changed throughout the years, and for example scans from the new Focus (the one with the internal SSD) won't import at all. But perhaps since my unit produces data that CC can handle, the colors could be processed as well?
