I've got a lot of point cloud LIDAR scans. Basically just a bunch of points with colour information on. I've turned them all into BGEO files and read them with a File SOP. I've saved out 3 levels; 100%, 10% and 1% of the data and use the switch node to view as I need them.

I'm pretty much arranging them and moving a camera through them. I'll also need to add pscale later for rendering. I'm also cropping some of them.

What's the most efficient way to read the data in the File SOP? Not sure if I should be using Pack Disk Sequences displayed as Point Clouds etc?

Any tips welcomed
Simon

I think the most efficient would be converting them to packed points using Pack Points SOP with appropriate tile size before exporting
then when loading through File SOP check Delayed Load Geometry which will load them as needed and allows you to further remove packed primitives as bboxes, then you can switch to pointcloud or unpack

Thanks Tomas, much appreciated
