Issue opening .LAS

Post by chris_harvey83 »

Good evening,
I have run into an issue opening a large .LAS pointcloud.
After "Oking" the first two boxes i get the first warning:
2025-01-31_20-29-48.jpg
2025-01-31_20-29-48.jpg (171.5 KiB) Viewed 141 times
And then the second one:
2025-01-31_20-29-35.jpg
2025-01-31_20-29-35.jpg (168.24 KiB) Viewed 141 times
I am unsure as to the reason. This is the latest stable release (2.13.2 Kharkiv (7/08/2024)), and the machein has 128Gb of RAM.

All the best,

Chris

Well, I guess either the cloud/file is massive, or it's corrupted and CloudCompare tries to create a cloud with a ridiculously big number of points...

You could try to use the latest 2.14.alpha version in case it fixes something, but I doubt it will change something sadly.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for getting back to me.
File size, the cloud is 29GB, and just over 1.1 billion points.

The machine I am using is a brand new build.

The same cloud does open on our other machines, which are 2 years old, 64GB ram, and there running version 12.2.

Would it help if you got a copy of the cloud to test your end?

All the best,
Chris

Hi Daniel,
Just wanted to update you, using the latest alpha build the point cloud loads with no issues.
Thanks for your advise,
Chris
