Export an e57 file with 360° images from RiSCAN Pro

If you want to import your point cloud with 360° images into your project, it's essential to export it in the correct format using RiSCAN Pro.

Below are the steps to follow to ensure compatibility and optimal display:

Step 1: Select the point clouds to export​

From the Project Manager pane, expand the folder structure under SCANS, and select the scan positions you want to export.

Step 2: Open the export tool​

There are two ways to launch the export process:

  • From the Quick Access bar: Click the arrow icon and choose Export pointcloud(s)....

  • From the context menu: Right-click on a scan or scan group and select Export pointcloud(s)....

If no pointclouds were pre-selected, a list will appear where you can manually choose which ones to export.

Step 3: Set export parameters​

Choose the following settings in the Export Settings window:

  • Export Format → Select the E57 format
  • Check Export images from SCANPOSIMAGES folder and Export panorama images
  • Uncheck Combine Data (recommended)
  • Click OK to start the export.

This ensures that both the scan position photos and panorama 360° images are embedded into the .e57 file.

Once the file is exported, you can upload it in your project.
