Prepare PSL geometry for FBX
The PSL-to-FBX route uses the PSL reader, mesh preparation and the FBX writer. Choose the geometry and representation required by the destination application.
Read the PSL scan data through the point-cloud interface. Select the scan region needed by the destination, establish units and alignment, and inspect sampling density and missing areas before constructing a surface.
Prepare mesh geometry for FBX delivery
A surface-mesh destination requires face connectivity, not just point positions. Reconstruct the required surface from the imported points, then tessellate it or prepare the resulting polygonal mesh. Surface from Scattered Points provides a surface-fitting workflow to evaluate for this preparation step.
Write the selected mesh geometry with the commercial FBX interface. Prepare the supported scene and placement mapping required by the receiving application. Check appearance and other attributes individually rather than assuming all source properties have an FBX writer mapping.
Validate the converted model
Compare the reconstructed surface against the scan, including gaps, noise and sparse regions. Specify fitting tolerances and how boundaries or missing areas are handled. The mesh is a derived surface whose accuracy depends on the source samples and reconstruction settings.
Reopen the FBX in the destination and compare scale, orientation, geometry coverage and placements. Verify the actual version and property mapping needed by that application. Retain the engineering source for information that the scene derivative cannot carry.
For repeated jobs, retain the source, preparation settings and representative output checks. Discuss this conversion with the input files, destination application and required geometry and attributes.
