The "Import" menu allows you to import different data into the workspace, for example point clouds or meshes. Importing a model into a workspace will not cause the workspace to be closed, so that you may combine different sources.

You may:


  • Import a model (point cloud or mesh) from an external source. Any imported model at this point will be unstructured, but it can be made structured so that the visibility information can be used. Multi-ICP alignment for laser scanned point cloud is available for this purpose.


  • Import a mesh with custom UVs in order to regenerate a texture with said UVs (the mesh can be composed by triangles and/or quads)


  • Import a whole other Zephyr workspace in order to merge it with the currently opened one.


  • Import drawing elements (DXF and XML, not available in 3DF Zephyr Lite and 3DF Zephyr Free)
