relief from cloud of points

[tanticapelli]

Good morning to all,
for a new job it has proceeded with a methodology of relief a little different from what we were accustomed, it has folded on relief with laser scanner.
the extension of the relief exceeds 30 mt.
I would like to know if someone has already had experience in this matter and what could be the most sensible methodology to proceed.
who made the relief saw the cloud of points (autocad environment 3d) and recalcated the contours with polylines.
I thought of designing in solidworks without inserting the relief, I would have exported everything in step or in dwg and superimposed on the dwg of the relief (the polylines of which it is composed were distributed on specific layers so as to facilitate its interpretation).
clearly if there was a way to insert the relief directly into solidworks with selectable solid entities would be better for me.

Thank you.

so many hairs

n.b.: I have seen that there are discussions on the subject but I have not been able to find answers I am looking for.

we perform reliefs with laser scanners of this size,
normally from the cloud of points you generate a mesh, which then can be directly imported in sw.
Otherwise, if you use it, you can model in sw and use rhino to compare the mesh with solid geometry, either by importing it directly or passing through a step. However, we never work directly from the cloud, but we always create the mesh, which mediates the points of the cloud.

ok thanks however the mesh as it should be created, is a totally manual process? you can also imagine that the shapes can not be normalized more than much, in order to avoid losing the encumbrances and ranges of spiorbaments and various disalignments useful and indispensable for the design

mesh is created with a suitable software, in theory also rhino 8. but there are better software, who scanned you should also create a mesh. normally we do not lose particular, indeed, we see things that would not be understood from the cloud
