Matterport-like Scan Sharing

[tdevil]

I have a Leica BLK360 Gen 2 I've been using for a year and a half. It's great, and I import the point clouds into Sketchup and AutoCAD to create floor plans & models. My company recently purchased a license for TruView cloud, so we could share scans with clients / partners. It is expensive for what it is, and limited by the number of setups I can upload without paying for another "block" of setups.
I'm interested in something like a Matterport website where I can share the scan data with clients without paying $2,000 per year for 5-6 sites. I'm not concerned with sharing the point cloud data itself per se; most of the partners just need to see the 360 photos that the scanner takes and navigate around the space.
I'm still learning a lot of what I can do with all the data I collect so I apologize if there is an obvious / industry standard I'm missing and thanks for any direction.

btw, you can upload panoramas from an .e57 file from your BLK360 scans at quato.xyz .. were testing our new uploader, so you get a 7day free trial : ]

Panos-only means much smaller data .. and you can even model in 3D over the panos if they are well placed, with good overlap ..

Feedback welcome !

It sounds like you're getting a lot of value out of your Leica BLK360 Gen 2 and are looking for more flexible options for sharing your scan data.

Matterport is definitely a popular choice for sharing 3D scans, but it can be expensive for smaller businesses or projects. You might want to explore other options like:

[invalid URL removed]: This platform allows you to upload and share point clouds and 3D models, and it offers different pricing plans to suit your needs.
XYZprinting 3D Scan Store: While primarily focused on 3D printing, this platform also offers 3D scan storage and sharing.
Custom Web Solutions: If you have a developer on your team or can hire one, you could create a custom web platform to host and share your scan data.
Regarding sharing the point cloud data itself, it's often not necessary for clients or partners to have access to the raw data. The 360 photos and virtual tour are usually sufficient for most purposes. However, if they do need the point cloud data, you could consider using a cloud storage service like Dropbox or Google Drive to share it securely.

Keep exploring and experimenting with different tools and techniques to find the best solution for your specific needs.
