SEE WHAT THE POINTS ARE TELLING YOU
Inspect the site, not just the file.
Navigate the survey, isolate a useful view and compare RGB context with Surface detail. Saved viewpoints make it easier to return to the same feature.
From a broad survey to a particular edge or structure, keep the geometry and its context together.
ANSWER A REAL SITE QUESTION
Go from a view to a measurement.
Cut cross sections through meaningful features and inspect distance, height and slope. Check the details that disappear in a top-down image.
PurpleGeo brings display, inspection and measurement into the same point cloud workbench.

Before you download
What is included in the free trial?
You can use the full app for 7 days, including importing your own scans, inspection, cross sections and measurements. It is not a limited-function demo.
Do I need an account or credit card to start?
No. Install and launch PurpleGeo, then close the welcome popup to use the app without signing up. No credit card is required for the trial.
Can I open LAS, LAZ and E57 files?
Yes. The Windows and Mac desktop apps import all three formats. Choose Select Files for individual files, or Select Folder to search a survey folder and its subfolders.
Does my scan have to be uploaded?
No. You can open and work with survey data locally. Creating an online project share is a separate action and uploads the project data.
Is there a Mac version?
Yes. PurpleGeo is available through the Mac App Store as well as Microsoft Store. Both links remain available regardless of which computer you use.
Can I create a flythrough too?
Yes. Saved viewpoints, camera routes and movie capture help you communicate the site. See the point cloud video workflow.
