Uploading your point cloud data into Stitch3D is simple and ensures your projects are well-organized and ready for visualization. Follow these steps and guidelines to get started.

Do’s & Don’ts

✅ Do:

• Create a project before uploading point clouds to a project.
• Use supported file types: .LAS, .LAZ, .PLY, .E57.
• Ensure your point cloud uses valid units (feet/meters, not degrees).

❌ Don’t:

• Upload files in unsupported formats (e.g., .copc.laz).
• Upload LAS files with waveform data (formats 4, 5, 9, 10)
• Upload point clouds that have points in latitude/longitude as degrees

Step 1: Create a Project

Before you can upload data, you need a project space.

1. Click + Project in your Stitch3D dashboard.
2. Enter a Project Name (required) and an optional Description.
3. Under Coordinate Reference Systems:
   • Choose the CRS Unit (International Feet, U.S. Feet, or Meters).
   • Add the Horizontal CRS (e.g., EPSG:26910 for NAD83 UTM zone 10N).
   • Add the Vertical CRS (e.g., EPSG:5703 for NAVD88 height).
   • If you’re unsure, you can leave CRS empty and set it later — but defining it now ensures better navigation inside your point cloud.
