The Mesh entity stores a raw mesh. Currently, only the FBX and OBJ mesh formats are supported.


Once you select “Mesh” from the “Add” menu, you will see the following options:



Item Name

A readable name for the new entity

Capture Date

An optional field containing the original capture date

Horizontal Datum

Horizontal datum used in the point cloud

Vertical Datum

Vertical datum used in the point cloud

Projection

Projection used by the point cloud

Horizontal Units

Horizontal unit type used in the point cloud

Vertical Units

Vertical unit type used in the point cloud

 

The coordinates for vertices in this mesh will be assumed to already be in the project’s coordinate space. For this reason, the system does not request information for the coordinate system of the raw data.


Click on “Choose File” to select the OBJ or FBX file for the mesh. It is possible to supply a ZIP archive that contains the FBX/OBJ files.


Click on “Create” to begin the upload process. You can track the upload operation from the “Pending” section in the project’s page.
