macOS previews photos, PDFs, and videos but a point cloud shows up as a blank icon
macOS previews photos, PDFs, and videos but a point cloud shows up as a blank icon. No good.
Point Cloud Viewer fixes that: open LiDAR, drone, and 3D-scan files natively, with Quick Look previews and Finder thumbnails.
Open XYZ, PTS, PCD, PLY, LAS, LAZ, and E57: from aerial LiDAR to terrestrial scans; then orbit, zoom, and inspect. Colour by true RGB, elevation, intensity, or classification.
Formats: XYZ, PTS, PCD, PLY, LAS, LAZ (incl. LAS 1.4), E57
Colour by RGB, elevation, intensity, or classification
Quick Look preview and Finder thumbnails
Handles millions of points
Point Cloud Pro (one-time in-app purchase) adds a professional toolset:
Classification filter: isolate ground, buildings, vegetation, water
Cross-sections: slice through the cloud on any axis
Measure point-to-point 3D distances
Export: save filtered subsets as XYZ, PLY, or LAS
