A detailed scan still takes work to explain and share
Architects, contractors, and owners need different information from the same scan. Finding the right view, adding context, and answering follow-up questions can keep your team busy long after the data is ready.
Specialist files limit access
People who need to review the building may not have the software used to process or inspect the original scans.
Findings lack a shared reference
A screenshot or written observation may not give the next reviewer enough context to locate the same feature.
Interior and exterior records are separate
Room scans, exterior surveys, and drawings can be difficult to review together.
Handover creates more requests
When recipients cannot explore the scan themselves, each new question can require another view from the scanning team.
Surrounding geometry hides the detail
Walls, floors, and nearby objects can obscure the room or structural element being discussed.
Give the wider team a practical way to explore the scan and find the information relevant to their work.
Review interior scans alongside exterior surveys
Import supported processed scanner outputs and bring them into the project with exterior drone data, drawings, and other survey sources.
Organize the layers and arrange panes to review different datasets side by side. With the appropriate positioning and coordinate-system setup, your team can explore how interior spaces relate to the building and its surroundings.

Focus on the room, structure, or detail you need
Position and rotate a clipbox to isolate the visible area of a point cloud. Adjust the view to examine a room, floor, or structural element without the surrounding geometry getting in the way.
Keep observations with the scan and share access
Add Notes at locations that need explanation and take measurements where the scan data supports the required accuracy. Keep the observations connected to the geometry your team is reviewing.
Invite architects, contractors, owners, and other stakeholders with appropriate access rights. They can explore the available project data in their browser without installing a specialist viewer or paying an additional license fee for each user.

Solutions
Frequently asked questions
How does AVAG support handheld 3D scanner workflows?
AVAG provides a shared workspace for viewing and working with supported processed scanner outputs. Import prepared scan data, review it alongside other project sources, isolate areas with clipboxes, add Notes, and share access with colleagues and clients.
Which handheld scanners can I use with AVAG?
Compatibility depends on the scanner’s exported formats and the preparation required. AVAG accepts LAS/LAZ point clouds among its supported processed-data inputs. Contact us with your scanner model and output details to confirm the import workflow. The Červená Lhota customer story includes data captured with a Faro Orbis Premium alongside other scanner and drone outputs.
Does AVAG process and register raw scanner data?
AVAG works with data from most drone platforms and common photogrammetry workflows, so there is no need to change your existing capture setup. If you already process data externally, AVAG imports outputs from Pix4D, Agisoft, 3DSurvey, and DroneDeploy, accepting TIFF orthophotos and DSMs, LAS and LAZ point clouds, and mesh data as a ZIP package containing JPG, OBJ, and MTL files. The workflow described on this page starts with prepared scanner outputs. Complete the processing, registration, positioning, and quality checks required by your scanning system before import. Viewing datasets together in AVAG does not automatically register them or correct alignment errors.For map visualization and overlay, AVAG supports CAD drawings, WMS services, 3D models, DXF, TXT, CSV, Shapefile, and PDF formats. Any coordinate system is supported, with no reformatting required when switching between client projects or data sources.
How long does data processing take in AVAG?
Processing time depends on the size of your dataset and the processing type you choose. With Automated processing, a typical project of 200 photos is ready in about 30 minutes, and larger datasets take proportionally longer. Expert processing, where our specialists check and refine the results, takes on average under 9 hours, and we guarantee delivery within 48 hours. You’ll get a notification as soon as your data is ready to view and share.
Can I combine interior scans with exterior drone data?
Yes. Supported scanner outputs and drone survey data can be viewed in the same project or arranged in separate panes. The datasets need appropriate positioning and coordinate-system setup to align correctly. This lets reviewers explore the interior and exterior records together.
Do we need expensive computers?
You can review project data in a browser without installing a specialist desktop viewer. Performance depends on your device, internet connection, dataset size, and display settings. If you prepare drone, scanner, or mobile mapping data in other software before importing it, that preparation may have separate hardware requirements.
Can I isolate a room or floor and export it?
You can position and rotate a clipbox to focus the visible point cloud on a particular room, floor, or area. The clipbox changes the view without modifying the source file. Direct export of the clipped subset is not currently available; contact support to discuss arranging a cropped point-cloud export.
Can I take measurements from scan data?
AVAG provides measurement tools for supported spatial data. The options available depend on the data type and the tool you use. Whether a measurement is suitable for your task depends on the scan’s accuracy, coverage, registration, and positioning. Check those factors against the tolerances required for the project.
Can I compare scan data with an IFC building model?
Yes, IFCs are available in AVAG.
Can AVAG work as a client portal for scan deliveries?
Yes. Invite clients into a shared workspace where they can explore the available scan data, review measurements and Notes, and examine relevant project sources. Use access rights to control which project data they can see. Clients access AVAG in their browser, and unlimited users means you can include their wider team without additional per-seat fees.
