Import overview

  • Navigate to File > Import, select Mesh File Format from Files of type, and select your file. 
  • From the Offset drop-down, choose: 
    • A point cloud that shares the same coordinate system as the model. 
    • Origin, if the model and point cloud are not in the same coordinate system.  
  • Select the relevant Unit conversion option to display the model in the same unit as the point cloud.
  • Finally, press open to import the model. 
  • If your model covers a large area, you may need to increase the Far plane of the active camera.


Explore Object Inspector

The model will be listed in the Object List as a group object. To view the individual mesh parts, expand the group object. 

In the Object Inspector, you can find more information about the selected mesh's transform, object, and material attributes. 


Transform Attributes 

The Transform Attributes list the mesh's translation, rotation, and scaling parameters.


Object Attributes

Expand the Object Attributes to view the number of vertices, edges, triangles, and faces.


Material Attributes

You can view, edit and re-assign materials to meshes from the Material Attributes.
