Share a point cloud as one file, no software to install

Formats

• .e57, .las, .laz, .pts and .xyz convert on the free tier with no account, watermarked, so you can judge the result first.
• With tokens the same scan creates clean and unlocked, at 50 tokens per creation whatever the file size.
• Have an .rcs or .rcp? Those are Autodesk's derived formats and cannot be read; send the surveyor's original .e57 or .las instead.

What the viewer keeps

• The points with their scan colour (or intensity when there is none), drawn at a density a browser can move smoothly; very dense scans are thinned evenly rather than clipped.
• The real coordinates, so measurements are in the scan's own units and match the survey.
• Levels, when the scan is combined with a model that has them, so a floor can be viewed on its own.

Scan and model together

Drop the scan together with the design model -- an IFC, or a DXF -- and they align into one viewer. Sections, measuring and pinned comments then work across both, which is how an as-built check or a clash review gets done without anyone installing anything.

Size

The website takes point-cloud files up to the limit shown on the Create page (150 MB for a paid creation, 45 MB on the free tier at the time of writing). For larger scans, export a region or thin the cloud in the survey software first; the viewer is for reviewing and sharing, not for archiving the raw capture.

How it works

• Drop the file on the Create page. No account is needed for the open formats; Revit, DWG and Navisworks need an account with tokens.
• A minute or so later you download one HTML file. That file is the whole viewer: the geometry, the properties, the tools.
• Send it. It opens in any modern browser, on a laptop, a tablet or a phone, with nothing to install and no login. It works with the internet switched off.

What the person you send it to can do

• Orbit, pan and zoom; select elements and read their properties.
• Measure distances, angles and diameters with snapping.
• Cut sections, walk through at eye height, save views.
• Pin comments and markups, then export a review report or spreadsheet back to you.
