Description
This tool imports 3D points from a point cloud file.
Usage
- Invoke the Import Points command several ways:
- Press on the Points Import button in the Points toolbar
- Use the Points → Import points from the Points menu.
- Select the point cloud file
- Press Open.
Notes
- The coordinates of the points should be read from a text file with the extension
.asc
. - Each line should have a collection of X, Y, Z coordinates separated by a space. The coordinates must use a decimal point, not a decimal comma.
- After importing, your points will be selectable in the 3D view, and they can be snapped to using the File:Snap Endpoint.svg Snap Endpoint method from the Draft Workbench.
- The cloud point will be imported as a single cloud object. This is unlike the Draft Point tool which creates individual points.
Sample point cloud file

For testing you can use this ASC file, which is a low polygon version of the Stanford Bunny.
