POINTCLOUDDECOMPRESS command

Decompress a point cloud cache entry.

Method

Opens the Please provide a point cloud cache dialog box where you can select a point cloud cache folder. Inside the selected folder, data files at the relative path Data/*.pnz will be decompressed. The extension of the data files will change from .pnz to .pnt.

The compression ratio is displayed on the Command line.

Note: If FILEDIA =0, you have to specify the location of the point cloud cache folder in the Command line.
Note: Manual compressing and decompressing a point cloud cache file may be needed in case of data exchange between BricsCAD® V21 and V22 versions. BricsCAD® V22 can work seamlessly with compressed or uncompressed data, but BricsCAD® V21 only works with uncompressed data.
Note: Set the POINTCLOUDCACHEFOLDER system variable as you prefer.
