We are pleased to announce the release of Point Cloud Manager 25.4.0 Desktop.

This release includes the following enhancements:

Asset Tag Browser improvements

Projects that have been classified using the AI Classification through Point Cloud Manager on CONNECT can be linked to an asset library from 3rd party software using the Desktop application. This release sees improvements to this browser, now it will not be created unless there are assets present. Filtering is now included based on Volume selection and indication of what assets have been linked to instances via a green tick.
Admin mode change

Locally generating a dataset would require the software be installed and running in Admin mode, this could be achieved by adding the “-a” command line to the shortcut and through the installation wizard. This was often missed on new installs and led to confusion for users. With this release the need to be in Admin mode to generate a dataset has been removed, this will streamline the workflow for new installs of the software.
FARO E57 to produce Sky in BubbleView

E57 files generated from FARO scan processing will not produce sky in the BubbleView. This change will allow scan providers to use FARO scanners and their software to process scans, export to the universal E57 file and import into Point Cloud Manager desktop without losing the sky. This is currently only available when converting using the Desktop application but in 2026 will be available for Point Cloud Manager on CONNECT.

Internal reference	Description
4065459	Uploading large E57 files using the “Upload” utility was previously failing. This has now been fixed, and larger E57 files are supported.
4327049	High resolution BubbleViews created from FARO scans orientation fix. This bug was specific to higher resolution FARO scans and would see a mistake in the orientation. This has now been resolved and any affected scans will require reconversion and generation.
