ADVICE FOR IMPORTING Z+F PROJECTS

If you are processing your Laserscans in Z+F LaserControl, then we now have a direct importer for your projects. It also includes a feature to allow you to bring in any thermal data that replaces the intensity channel.

(a) After saving your registered project, find the folder containing the zfproj file on your system and compress the folder into a zip. Make sure that the .zfproj file is in the root of the zip file. Do not add a password and on Mac systems we recommend excluding the Mac resource forks.

(b) In 3DUserNet VISION, select upload on a project card, then ‘POINTCLOUD’ -> ‘Z+F’. You should see the dialogue shown below. Select the channels you wish to import (RGB or INT). If you wish to bring in thermal data, select ‘Thermal as Intensity’ then choose the temperature range in degrees Celsius using the slider.

Intensity Settings for Thermal Data

Once your data is converted you will receive an email with instructions on how to add it to a Task. If your data has thermal and you chose to load it, then please use the following settings in the 3D View to get the best output:

Set Level of Detail to ‘High’ to load the most points possible
Set the Pointcloud Colour to ‘INT’ and select ‘POINT SHADING’ to show edges.
Set Gradient to ‘INFERNO’
Make sure Intensity range is 0-255
Tweak the Intensity range slider to best show your data

You should find that this gives a similar result to the image shown below.
