File Formats and Availability:
Giraffe360 offers a point cloud add-on. If this feature is activated, you will get point clouds for all your projects.
Currently we offer e57 file format (floor by floor), which is a universal standard and works with most software solutions. We also offer .ply, however, it comes unstitched and on an individual scan by scan basis.
Note: Point clouds are only available for internal scans.
