Export point cloud - Scalar field removed

[Teasey94]

Hi, I am very new to cloudcompare. I am trying to import the scalar data from .pts file taken from Scanmaster (laser scan data Topcon GLS2000) but when I import my point the scalar bar is filled with zeros (see image).. do you know why this may be? Is there a way to import the return intensity data once I am in cloud compare? Thanks!

Well, if it's all zeros, then it's probably because it's the case also in the file (you can check by loading the file in a text editor).

And this is maybe only true on the first lines, the other points may have non-zero values?
