I am trying to get a useable and visible model of a scan that I imported as a point cloud via E.57 format. The scan is perfect - as I can visualize it in CloudCompare. After the import the rhino file has a certain file size and the import worked in my understanding. But I can only select and zoom to an object that is not visible. I do not see the point cloud itself? Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Hi -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Alas, you are attempting to use Windows Rhino7 on a Mac via Parallels. This is not supported by McNeel. Earlier versions of Rhino (V5 and earlier) usually worked fairly well despite no McNeel support but V7 not so much. The culprit is Parallels’ inadequate OpenGL support of Nvidia/AMD cards in the Mac.
I believe that your V7 license allows you to download the Mac version of Rhino and use it as long as you are not using the windows version on a windows machine at the same time. I believe your Cloud Zoo will manage that for you. (I run a standalone version so for me this is just hearsay from the forum.)

Hi Wim, thanks for your comment. Just re-opened the Rhino file that was imported via the PC / Parallels on my Mac Rhino 7 and there it shows 
Great stuff - this helps a lot ! J
