Export Point Cloud

Selecting an area to export

This feature is only available in the Point Cloud viewer (1). When enabled, the Crop & Export button will be available in the toolbar (2).

Once selected, you will see the Point Selection Tool (3), select the middle of the area you want to export.

This will take you to the edit screen where you can orbit around the section of the point cloud and zoom in and out. You can alter the position of the selected area by sliding the bars, or the size of the export volume by adjusting the circular handles at the end of the bars.

Once you’re satisfied with the selected area, choose either the Quick Download or Request Export option.

Quick Download

This will allow you to save the file to your computer and is the fastest option to get an export. Click the Quick Download button to start downloading to the default downloads folder on your computer. Please note: this exports a decimated version of the point cloud and is restricted to .PLY format.

Request Export (Coming Soon)

Use this to request a download of the point cloud in it’s original, undecimated resolution. Choose the format you need from the drop-down list.

Once processing of the request is complete, a download link will be sent to the email address associated with your R2S account.
