Upload and work with project data from Aerial Lidar and Photogrammetry, Terrestrial and Mobile Mapping, Hydrographic MBES
| Point Clouds | .las / .laz / .e57 / .rcp / .pts / .xyz (All must be Cartesian Coordinate Systems) |
| Textured Meshes | .stl / .ply / .obj / .fbx |
| Standard Image Files* | .jpg / .png / (.csv /.txt file optional for 3D location and orientation****) |
| Panoramic Image Files*,*** | .jpg / .png (.csv /.txt file required for 3D location and orientation) |
| Orthomosaic Image Files | .tif / .tiff (.tfw required if projection data not stored in tiff) |
| Textured Meshes** | .b3dm (3D Tiles format - includes .json and Geometry folder) |
| Batch Uploads | You can upload multiple files together to be included in the same project |
* Images require the Imagery Module to be purchased
** Textured Meshes require the Mesh Module to be purchased
*** Panoramic Images must be full 360 by 180 equirectangular projected images
**** Positioning of Standard imagery is only possible if it has GPS metadata or a csv file is provided with positional and orientation information. If GPS metadata is used, a project must be set in a cartesian coordinate projection for the images to align correctly.
