How to export scans from Faro's Scene

For the best experience, we recommend exporting structured scans in E57 file format. You can follow the steps below to export your scans:

1. Once you have finished the processing and registration process, click on the "Export" tab in the toolbar at the top right of the window.

2. Click on "Export Scans" at the top left window and then click "Export Scans - Ordered"

3. A new window will open. From this window, choose E57 format and give it a file name. Select the options "Color and Grey", "Export Scan Pictures" and "Exclude points without 3D coordinates" to have the best experience in Imerso, including colours of the scans and panorama pictures. Lastly, click on "Export".

This process might take some time depending on the number of point clouds and on how many stations there are.

Once this process is finished, you can upload the resulting E57 file to Imerso to have the point cloud from your Faro scanner into your project.
