HOW TO IMPORT YOUR POINT CLOUD FROM TRIMBLE X9 INTO ORIGINS

Struggling to import your point clouds from your Trimble X9 laser scanner into PointCab Origins?
Don’t worry, we’ll fix that with one setting.

Empty results from X9 point cloud data in Origins?

What’s the cause of the problem?

Trimble scans contain empty rows and columns, creating a “checkerboard pattern” in the data.

This can cause points to be removed by the neighborhood filter, which eliminates points that are too far apart.

Don’t worry, we’ll fix that now!

How to change the settings?

Select the desired e57 scans.
Go to “Advanced“ → “Single point filter distance” and set the value to 0.0.

Fixed!

With the correct settings, the data from the Trimble X9 scanner is displayed properly.

In both the standard top view and the panorama, everything now appears as it should.
