Quick Steps

1. Start FARO Zone 3D, click Point Cloud > Import SCENE Project. 
2. Browse to your SCENE project point cloud (.lsproj file) and click Open.

See details below.   

Overview

Once you have exported a SCENE project point cloud (.lsproj file), you can add it to a new FARO Zone 3D drawing or an already existing one. With a point cloud and the FARO Zone 3D features you can create accurate-scale diagrams in 3D scene environments, perform measurements, add annotations, icons, or symbols, create animations, export diagrams for reports, and more.
