Impossible to read correctly a big size Cloud
Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2025 5:14 pm
Hello,
I frequently use Metashape to create point clouds, which I then export as XYZ, PLY, LAS or OBJ files and work on with CloudCompare.
Today, I created a cloud with 196,978,930 points and generated XYZ,OBJ files, each around 15 GB in sizeand a PLY file (6 Gb). However, when I open any of these files in CC, only a single line is displayed on the screen, which is not at all what I get in Metashape.
Could this be due to the size of the file?
Thank you in advance for any help.
