9.2 Single Scene Processing

How to import scan data, configure a single-scene reconstruction project in LCC Studio, select quality and settings, and review results before export.

Section 1

Importing Your Data

Before Opening LCC Studio
  • Transfer the raw scan folder from the device to the workstation SSD. USB transfer for L2 Pro (internal SSD) and K1 (TF card). PortalCam data transfers via the LCC Scan app export function.
  • Confirm free storage space is at least 5 times the project folder size. LCC Studio writes substantial intermediate data during reconstruction. Running out of disk space mid-process corrupts the project.
  • For Insta360 coloring files, verify the recording format before importing. LCC Studio requires normal video mode, not timelapse. Timelapse is for LixelStudio. Placing a timelapse file in an LCC Studio project causes a coloring failure.
  • Keep the original data on the device until processing is verified. Do not delete device files after copying. The cost of storage is not comparable to the cost of a return site visit.

Creating a Single Scene Project

  1. Open LCC Studio and click Create. Select Single Scene Reconstruction from the mode options. Use Single Scene for projects captured in a single session without Map Fusion requirements.
  2. Name the project using a clear, consistent convention. The name is used in exported filenames and in the web publish link.
  3. Add the scan data folder under Ground Data. LCC Studio reads the device type from the folder contents and displays it in the interface.
  4. Set Quality. Standard is the correct starting point for all first-attempt processing. Use Fast only for previews. Use Slow for final deliverables requiring maximum visual fidelity.
  5. Set Max Gaussian Splats. The Estimated RAM bar in the interface shows projected VRAM usage as you adjust this value. Stay within the bar for your GPU. For consumer GPUs, stay under 25M in single-scene mode to avoid VRAM overflow, memory failure, or degraded reconstruction quality.
  6. Set Portability. On for web or mobile delivery, reduces file size and improves cross-device performance. Off for desktop-only delivery requiring realistic lighting effects. USDZ export requires Portability Off.
  7. Configure Advanced Settings if needed. SLAM Mode: Robust for most environments. PPR: Normal for indoor, Low for outdoor. RTK Data: Auto (default) or Disabled if RTK is causing instability.
  8. Enable Low-Memory Reconstruction only if the project fails due to RAM limitations. This option offloads intermediate data to disk, reducing peak RAM usage at the cost of increased processing time. It is only available in single-scene mode.
  9. Click Start. Do not interrupt processing. Monitor progress in the LCC Studio interface.

Processing time at Standard quality is approximately 20 minutes of compute per 1 minute of scan duration. A 5-minute scan takes roughly 100 minutes to process. A 20-minute scan takes roughly 7 hours. Plan accordingly before starting.

Section 3

Reviewing Results in the Viewer

After reconstruction, the model opens in the LCC Studio viewer. Use the viewer to verify visual quality, coverage completeness, and dimensional accuracy before exporting or publishing.

Navigation Modes

Flythrough mode uses WASD for movement and mouse for direction. Shift increases speed, Ctrl decreases it. Pivot mode rotates around a selected point with right-click panning and scroll zoom. Avatar mode simulates ground-level walking with collision detection.

Quality Verification Checklist
  • Navigate the full extent of the model and confirm all required areas are present. Missing zones cannot be recovered in post-processing.
  • Check coverage at transitions, including doorways, stairwells, and areas where scanning speed may have been higher.
  • Verify a known dimension using the measurement tool. A room that measures significantly differently from known dimensions indicates SLAM drift. The entire scan may have an accuracy problem that requires rescanning.
  • Inspect visual quality in areas that matter most to the deliverable. Equipment labels, MEP details, and fine architectural elements require adequate scan coverage from multiple angles to reconstruct cleanly.
  • Check for reconstruction artifacts, including floating geometry, blurry surfaces, or areas with inconsistent density. These typically indicate zones where loop closure was insufficient or scanning speed was too high.
