LixelStudio V3.5 is here — bringing clearer point-cloud data, more consistent mesh reconstruction, faster drafting, improved multi-level visualization, and smoother workflow interoperability across your 3D pipeline.

Here’s what’s new:

Cleaner Point Clouds

Upgraded filtering suppresses noise while preserving fine structures and edge clarity — improving point-cloud clarity and making inspection more reliable.

Higher-Quality Meshes

Enhanced surface continuity, cleaner edges, and more consistent textures produce meshes that behave more reliably in downstream reconstruction and visualization workflows.

New 2D Drafting Tool

Draw directly on point clouds with CAD-style tools (lines, arcs, rectangles, vector editing). Featuring smart extraction, it can also auto-detect 2D outlines, reducing manual tracing and speeding up drawing delivery.

Floor-Based Viewing

The point-cloud and panoramic overlay module now supports floor-based slicing, enabling clearer interpretation of large or multi-level indoor environments.

Workflow & Compatibility Enhancements

New .lcc Gaussian viewing enables smoother inspection of 3DGS models. Coordinate transformation now includes RTCM support for more accurate alignment workflows.
