I want to import an aligned point cloud from EXScan to GOM to do all the meshing within GOM. In EXScan when I finish aligning the projects, and save it as .ASC, only the last project is opened in GOM, I also tried saving the projects seperatly and align then in GOM, but it seems to only be able to save the last project point cloud.
I then tried to just do the minimum amount of post processing in EXScan, meaning no filling of holes or simplifying geometry, however, some meshing is done and it doesn’t look to be a point cloud anymore. After this I can save it as either .stl or .ASC (along other fornats). If I save as .stl file, the opened data in GOM looks like an unwatertight mesh, and not point cloud. For an .ASC file it seems like GOM is opening a point cloud, but with my not so experienced eyes, it seems like a “fake” point cloud (idk how to explain..).
Point being, if I post process the scan data in EXScan and save the .ASC and open it in GOM, will it be aligned raw data in GOM, or will some post processing have been completed?
