hello,

I am able to scan a large point cloud using my iPad Pro w/ lidar. it's great. the resulting .db file is 500+ MB. I am also able to optimize it, and assemble it into a point cloud same density, as well as export it into a .ply file. I was able to get the .ply file to open properly in Sketchfab. and I was able to close the app, and after reopening it, I could locate the file in the rtab map directory, and load it and it would be fine no crashing.

however, after some time has gone, I try to reopen the same file on the ipad, and the app crashes each time, it looks like there is now a limit on how much memory is allowed to be used for db viewing...

I'm not a techie person. please help me understand/solve this problem. I have cleared my RAM before loading the file, and I have absolutely no apps open.

please advise, thank you.
