3D Editor

In our visual 3D Editor, you can edit your GeoSplats and prepare them for map use.

Prepare input file

The 3D Editor supports standard .ply files formatted as Gaussian splats. These can be generated from:

• Video or photo collections: Captured via drone or a high-end smartphone and processed directly into raw Gaussian splats.
• Photogrammetry and LiDAR: Existing 3D reconstructions, textured meshes, or point clouds can be used as a foundation to generate high-fidelity Gaussian splats using specialized software.

A PLY file is a container. Please note there are two types, containing either Gaussian splats or point clouds. Our editor can only work with the Gaussian splat type.

Before uploading, you also need to crop and clean the model using a 3rd party software, as our editor doesn’t have this capability yet.

Edit your splat model

The 3D Editor enables you to:

• Georeference your model: Assign a precise geographic location. This is mandatory for adding the model into a map.
• Transform the geometry: Rotate the model along any axis and adjust its scale to fit smoothly into the basemap.
