How to install and make the most of Scene LT
Scene LT is a piece of free software created specifically for viewing FARO laser scanner scan data. Please watch the following video we've created to help guide you through this process.
If the project folder contains a “Scene Scan Data” folder, then you should consider downloading and using the Scene LT software and files.
The Scene LT file format is a ZIP file which contains a set of folders and files. This data contains the 3D Panoramic view of the scan data for each scanner location. You will need to unzip these files and then open the "FWS" file in Scene LT to view the scan data.

Mac users will need access to a Windows machine in order to install this software.
