Request for Third Party Plugin...

[shorter]

Seems there are plugins for other software for Leica Cloudworx.

 

Despite requesting open file formats, this message has not permeated all quarters of the construction industry and we continually get .rcs, and native point cloud formats.

 

Please partner with Faro and Leica to create plugins to be able to view their native point clouds in Vectorworks.

It is not available for any one using a Mac though, is it?

 

Oh, and FYI, .rcs is NOT an industry standard.  It is a proprietary file format.
