The sensor is not imported correctly because the I/O filter for ASCII files is parsing data -> to points only.

Hence, CC will need a better, ad hoc filter for that format, in order to get the job done.

For now, you can painfully use the data to craft by hand the sensor item..... or can you?

Daniel i find myself using "AAA" expensive software and they do have indeed a very good way to automate all the workflow and to give you back the full aligned cloud.

However this is what you get when your site workflow is "flawless".

There were some cases where big "jumps" or small overlaps (or ...

Manual rough alignment is often required even with expensive closed source software (Leica, Faro).

OK it is confirmed it is a dumb question:

i didn't noticed that "Coord.Z" is the name of the scalar field that indeed i created and THEN applied some transforms.
Maybe its good to have a suffix to that label. "SF Coord.Z =" to have a nice "first glance ...

That is a wise request

Hello there,

there is something i can't get even after some time spent tweaking and checking my setup.

For i have a world-coordinates-referenced point cloud,

What you are trying to achive is not clear.

Wireframe is about edges
Point clouds can be seen as "display only vertices"

Then there is face shading, which can be solid or can have some transparency. that's pretty all

Maybe you mean wireframe with "clipping" or depth brush

achiveable in Blender ...

using global scale?
