Surveyor FAQ: VisionLidar, VisionCivil Pro and VL365
Answers to the questions surveyors and engineering firms ask us most often.
VisionLidar
Which point clouds does VisionLidar accept?+
VisionLidar imports aerial, drone, terrestrial and mobile LiDAR point clouds and processes billions of points on a Windows workstation.
See VisionLidar →What can I deliver from my surveys?+
CAD-ready deliverables: ground surfaces and features extracted from the point cloud, which can then feed your design, for example in VisionCivil Pro.
Can I open a point cloud without a licence?+
Yes. The VisionLidar Viewer is free: fill in the short form on the VisionLidar page and the download link appears right away.
Download the viewer →How do I get started with LiDAR processing?+
Our 5-step article walks through the path from import to deliverables, and the Geo-Plus Academy offers training.

Does VisionCivil Pro work inside my CAD?+
Yes. VisionCivil Pro works in AutoCAD, Civil3D, MicroStation and BricsCAD, so you keep your drawing standards and files.
See VisionCivil Pro →What does VisionCivil Pro cover?+
Horizontal alignments, vertical profiles, dynamic corridors that follow the alignment, grading with cut-and-fill volumes, plan-and-profile sheets and quantity take-offs.
Can I start from my LiDAR survey?+
Yes. Ground surfaces and features extracted in VisionLidar can feed your design in VisionCivil Pro, from survey to sheets.
VL365
How do I share a point cloud with my client?+
VL365 displays your point clouds in a web browser with no software to install, so your team and clients look at the same project.
See VL365 →Does my client need to install anything?+
No. A web browser is enough to view a project shared with VL365.
Demo and support
Can I see the software on my own project?+
Yes. Request a demo with the product and your availability; we propose a one-hour slot, then our team confirms it.
