Issue trying to use pointcloud PTS format file from BLK2GO in the Point File In Top

Beginners

got pts file captured with BLK2GO, and each row has 7 values. As explained here pts - Laser scan plain data format, those 7 values are “the first three are the (x,y,z) coordinates of the point, the fourth is an “intensity” value, and the last three are the (r,g,b) colour estimates”

958888
69.544 -15.236 -0.019 -1159 100 97 110
69.552 -15.192 -0.073 -1352 102 96 108
69.308 -15.045 -0.148 -1664 144 151 144
… etc

now, I had successfully used .pts filed before with that Top, but only with pts files that had just 3 values, for the coordinates and that´s it,

in this case I have those 7 values, how can I manage a pts file with all that info? because in the settings of the point file in top I have to select which numbers represent r,g,b and then I get those 3 values out, but in my case I would like to make use of 6 of the values, x,y,z, r,g,b

thank you :slight_smile:

You can use a Point File Select TOP to access additional fields from your point file. It links back to the original Point File In TOP and lets you select up to 4 more channels to fill a second texture. You can then use that second texture in the Color OP field of the Geometry COMP or wherever else you need that data.
