Hey guys,
I am active in the field of architecture. I work with Microstation. In the scope of a job handling, I heard that Microstation offers a support for the use of laser scanner data resp. point clouds.
The support, for which version is it? Which data formats are supported?
Regards,
Steffen

Is the import of *.fws files possible in previous versions of Microstation?
The direct import of *.fws files is not possible. By using the free viewer FARO Scene Lt, you can export ASCII data which can be imported in Microstation by means of xyz import.
Hello,
It could be that the latest FARO workspaces of version 5.0 and 5.1 are not supported – not until the next update. A further possibility is to download the Pod creator from Pointools website and to create POD files by using the “creator”.
If you need support for Bentley Pointools, you can send a mail to info@laserscanning-europe.com. As a reseller for Bentley Pointools, we'll be happy to help you.
