Geomagic Wrap

Post by Iago B »

Hi, we trying Geomagic Wrap. We have a point cloud we made it in photoscan. This point cloud has UTM coordinates. When we export xyzrgb.txt in utm, geomagic dont work properly. When we convert the utm coordinates to a small coordinates, works well.
¿anybody knows how we can fix this? We need to work in utm coordinates.

Hi, I solved a same problem years ago. I export data in a local coo. system in a small coordinates from Cyclone in eg. pts format. Then I import data into Geomagic Wrap and there is no problem.

add a point of known coordinates, to truncate the UTM coordinates with a fixed offset, basically remove the first X number of numbers from the coordinates

Try to export from Photoscan in another format like PLY for instance.

Geomagic will know it is far from the origin and will present a dialog box asking if it should transform the data. You should accept the suggestion, saving the transformation file.

Just a heads up that there is a long standing bug in how Photoscan handles large number coordinates in ply files:

As Jed pointed, ply is a problem, use OBJ instead.

Dialog in Geomagic is

Hi, I solved a same problem years ago. I export data in a local coo. system in a small coordinates from Cyclone in eg. pts format. I import data into Geomagic Wrap and there is no problem. Then I import finished model mostly in shape of an arranged mesh back into Cyclone or into an another software where I switch data to a global coo. system in a big coordinates where we work. It is a possible process which works good. Maybe that there exist more elegant solution.

Geomagic don't show the dialog that loaded data is far from origin. We import .obj.
We can use others softwares to transform the coordinates but we really want to do this with the transform of the matrix in Geomagic.

Hi, do you use studio or wrap?

They are a little different in interpreting the files.

Normally I avoid big coordinates in the whole scan project. Transforming to utm is done after the whole scan process.

Models in UTM are transformed to the local system, if needed for the process. This works best for me ;)

Greetings
Stefan

Ok. We have transformed the UTM to a local system and this is the better solution.

Thanks so much for your responses.
