Clean, measure and present your 3D scans

Open an XGRIDS LCC folder or any splat or point cloud. Take out the cars and people, measure it, compare visits and make a film. Everything stays on your computer.

What you can do with it

Three jobs, all in one desktop app.

Clean up

Take out cars, people and floaters

Click a car to pick it and delete it. The ground behind it is filled in. Trim the edges, level the floor and set the scale.

Clean up tools
Measure

Lengths, heights, areas and volumes

Snap to walls and edges in plan, sections and 3D. Stockpiles, cut and fill, floor levels and ponding, each with a report.

Measuring tools
Present

Drawings, comparisons and films

Plans and sections as PDF or DXF. Line up visits from different days, then render a walk-through or a timelapse to MP4.

Films and drawings

Checked against a room of known size

We built a test scan with exact sizes, tilted and turned it the way a scanner leaves a scan, and measured it with Scan Bench's own tools.

Combine scans into one

Scan a building floor by floor, room by room, or inside and outside, then join the scans into one. No extra licence to buy.

  • Lines up by itself, or from a few matching points
  • White shows where both scans agree before you commit
  • Choose which scan to keep where they overlap
  • PLY, SPZ and E57 from any scanner

Clean it up

Take out the cars, people and floaters, and fill the gap behind them so nobody can tell.

  • Select and delete in 3D, with undo
  • Fill behind what you removed
  • Level, crop and set the scale
  • Save a clean PLY or a small SPZ

Compare visits over time

Line up scans of the same site from different days, slide between them, then make a timelapse of the build.

  • Line up by clicking 3 matching spots, or automatically
  • Slider or flick between dates
  • Cut and fill volumes between two visits
  • Timelapse with Build up, Laser scan, Wipe and more
How Compare works
Two visits lined up and compared

Log defects on the scan

Drop a numbered pin on a crack, a pothole or a trip hazard, with a picture of the spot, and send a defect report.

  • Type, priority, status and a note for each
  • Go to flies straight back to it
  • PDF report with a picture of each, plus CSV
  • Saved with the job

Walk the scan together

Show a client or a colleague round the site from their own computer. Everyone opens the same scan and you talk on Teams or the phone.

  • See each other in the scan, with live pointers
  • Everyone follow me for a guided tour
  • Look here points something out for everyone
  • Defects and measurements shared live, and meeting notes as a PDF

Films and drawings

Walk-through and fly-through films with weather and lighting, plus measured plans and sections for the office.

  • Sun, rain, snow, fog and fireworks
  • Smooth camera routes, rendered to MP4
  • Plans, sections and elevations as PDF or DXF
  • VR with a Meta Quest

How it works

Three steps, all on your computer.

1

Open the scan

Point Scan Bench at the XGRIDS LCC folder, or drop in a PLY, E57 or splat file. It levels the floor and squares the building to the plan by itself.

2

Tidy it and measure

Take out what should not be there, trim the edges, set the scale, then measure lengths, heights, areas and volumes.

3

Send something

A clean PLY or small SPZ, a PDF or DXF drawing, a volume report, or an MP4 film.
