Pointclouds Viewer
Explore 3D scans pointclouds
Free · In‑App Purchases
Measure height floor to ceiling, see a floor's sag in colour, draw a model as edges, and share notes as BCF — scans and models on Mac, iPad and iPhone, offline.
Pointclouds Viewer opens laser scans on your Mac, iPad and iPhone — measure them, cut sections, compare a scan against a model, and export the results. Everything happens on the device: no account, no upload, no network connection of any kind.
FORMATS
• E57 with registered scan setups, colour, intensity and spherical photographs
• LAS and LAZ 1.0 to 1.4, with colour, intensity and classification; COPC opens as the LAZ it is
• PLY, ASCII and binary; PTS and PTX; XYZ and TXT with intensity or RGB columns
• IFC models, also zipped or gzipped; USDZ, USD, OBJ, STL, glTF and GLB
• DXF floor plans laid under the scan, with the drawing's layers to switch off
• Several files import at once into one project with all their setups
Import turns a scan into an offline project on the device and never modifies the original. Reading is streamed: a scan of over a hundred million points imports within a few tens of megabytes, and detail is chosen for the current view.
MEASURE AND INSPECT
• Distance with its horizontal and vertical parts, and height straight up — floor to ceiling anywhere in a room
• Polylines, angles, and best-fit areas that report how far points sit from the plane
• Notes anchored to a point, written as soon as they are placed
• Lengths in millimetres, centimetres or metres
• Every pick is verified against the cloud at full resolution; an uncertain one is refused
• Measurements, notes and a model's placement are saved with the project
THE SCAN AGAINST THE MODEL
Open a model next to the scan and see where the building differs from the drawing. Place it by an estimate, by dragging it, or in steps of a centimetre; the model moves, never the scan. Measure from a point on the scan to a surface of the model. Switch cloud and model on and off with one press, or draw the model as outlines in a colour and width of your choosing.
WHAT A MODEL SAYS
Press and hold an element of an IFC model for a menu. Hide it, or every element of its kind — the roof, to see inside. Or read its properties: type, fire rating, quantities, including all it inherits from its type.
ISSUES IN BCF
Notes leave as BCF topics, each with a viewpoint and the element it is on, and BCF files from other tools open as notes.
SEEING THE SCAN
RGB, intensity, classification, a heatmap, or elevation over the whole scan or a band of a few centimetres — to see where a floor sags or a wall leans. Points can be drawn solid at any distance, or with as much of the real detail as the device holds. A horizontal grid, and views from all six sides.
SECTIONS AND ROOMS
• A box you can move, turn and reshape by dragging, a plane, or a slice of chosen thickness
• Save a cut with its camera view under a name — Kitchen — and return to it
• Clipped points are neither drawn nor picked; an open model is cut too
PANORAMAS
Scans that carry photographs show them as a panorama from the scanner's own position, alone or over the cloud.
EXPORT
CSV, JSON with sections, BCF, a PNG snapshot, and what is inside a section as a LAS file.
FREE AND PRO
The app is free and keeps one project. Pro removes that limit for a single payment. No subscription, and projects you already have stay open either way.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
Point data is not edited, scans are not registered, and there is no AR. Clouds in two different coordinate systems are not brought into one. Models you open are read, never modified, and IDS rules are not checked.
The interface is available in English and Czech.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
ISSUES IN BCF
Notes export as BCF topics that other BIM tools open, each with a viewpoint and the model element it sits on. BCF files from other tools open as notes. Where a model was placed against the scan is now remembered with the project.
MEASURING
• Height: floor to ceiling straight up, wherever the two points are — check a ceiling in the middle of a room and by the wall
• An area closes by selecting its first corner again
• When points are refused, the message says which ones
• A note opens for writing as soon as it is placed
• Lengths in millimetres, centimetres or metres
SEEING THE SCAN
• Fill the gaps between points, so surfaces look solid at any distance instead of see-through
• Maximum detail, for as many of the scan's real points as the device can hold
• Elevation colours over a band you choose — a few centimetres around a floor show where it sags, across a wall where it leans
• A horizontal grid to count sizes off, round or square points, and views from all six sides
• Display settings are a scrolling panel now, with a button back to the defaults
THE MODEL
• Point cloud and model switch on and off with one press in the bottom bar
• Edges: the model's outlines, or every edge, in a colour and width of your choosing, over the surfaces or on their own
• STL, OBJ and USD files that do not say which way is up ask, showing both options as a floor plan
• Edges of models are sharper and smoother
SECTIONS
• Box handles show which wall they move and which way; the whole box moves from its middle
• A thin slice through the scan with its thickness at hand
• Saving a box shows where it went
AND
• The demo says it is a demo, and offers to open your own scan
• Hold a button on iPad or iPhone to see its name
• Zooming in no longer slows to a crawl close up
• Import explains what each point density keeps
