5. From the Point intensity drop-down list, choose how the points are brought through when opening
Z+F files. None brings through the points set to white. Raw Intensities uses the intensities set in the
file. Color-Mapped Intensity transforms point intensity values to a spectrum of RGB colors. The
Gamma Correction Level is used to alter the gamma correction values whilst using the point
intensities set in the file. Gamma values can range between 0.0 and 1.0 are useful to correct
weighting of intensity values at the lower end of the intensity range.

ASCII Laser Scan Files
ASCII Laser Scan files can be read by NavisWorks.
Note:
Most scanner software allows the user to export the point data in an ASCII text file. Providing that
the data is saved in the correct format, this data can be read by NavisWorks.
Supported formats for ASCII laser scan data are listed below. The data must be separated using
one of the following characters: comma, tab or space. The character used to signify a decimal
must be a point (period).
X, Y, Z
X, Y, Z, Intensity
X, Y, Z, Red, Green, Blue
X, Y, Z, Intensity, Red, Green, Blue
Intensity values are integers in the range 0-255 (Note: These will not be gamma corrected). Red,
Green and Blue values are also integers in the range 0-255.
