Open a file
Choose an E57, PLY, XYZ or TXT file. For PLY, XYZ and TXT select the source unit; E57 carries metres itself.
The steps below resolve the most common issues. If a problem continues, write to us — a description of the situation and the technical details is enough, and you do not need to send the scan itself.
Updated 15 September 2026Choose an E57, PLY, XYZ or TXT file. For PLY, XYZ and TXT select the source unit; E57 carries metres itself.
The scan is converted once into an offline project. Large files take minutes; the finished project then opens immediately.
On a Mac, drag to orbit, Shift-drag or right-drag to pan, scroll to zoom. On an iPad, one finger orbits, two pan, pinch zooms.
Pick a measurement under the ruler icon and select points in the cloud. Each point is verified at full resolution.
Save a named box under Rooms & sections. A saved section opens without editing on; the pencil switches to editing.
The import reads the whole source file and builds levels of detail, so a file of several gigabytes takes minutes rather than seconds. The progress indicator advances as blocks complete. Keep the app in the foreground and the device on power.
The free tier keeps one project. Buying Pro removes the limit. A project already on the device can always be reopened — the limit only applies to adding another.
Sign in to both devices with the same Apple Account and use Restore purchase in the Pro screen. A purchase cannot move between different Apple Accounts.
Switch the mode to Panorama + cloud. A panorama on its own is a photograph; a verified three-dimensional point can only be taken where cloud points are under the cursor as well.
Projects imported by older versions pick different points at each level of detail. Re-import the original file; measurements and sections are unaffected.
The app lowers the point budget when the device cannot keep up or runs warm. Turn on the Performance overlay in the menu — the Thermal line says whether heat is the cause. The budget returns once the device cools.
No. On iOS and iPadOS the project library is marked as excluded from backup, because a single project can be several gigabytes that the app can rebuild from the original scan. Keep your own backup of the original scans.
CSV and JSON export are under the ruler icon. A PNG snapshot of the view is in the More menu.
Safe technical information is enough. It lets us reproduce the problem without access to the contents of your scan.
