I received LiDAR data taken with an iPhone in ".ply" format. I would like to extract the data from it for preliminary grading information and convert it to AutoCAD format to incorporate in our drawings. I am not an Apple user, but I may be able to have my client save the LiDAR files in a different format.
What software do I need for this conversion? How do I go about doing the conversion in this software?
Is it possible to get contours from this data?
I have been able to open and view the file with MeshLab, but I have not figured out how to either extract the necessary elevation data I need or convert it to AutoCAD. Any help would be appreciated.
