L3 processing comes into the desktop workflow
XGRIDS lists LixelStudio 4.1.1.0 as a Windows release dated October 22, 2026. It adds Lixel L3 project processing and map fusion. The notes also describe local point-cloud enhancement around control points or points of interest, fusion using manually selected overlapping trajectories, and improved volume tools.
Editing and output changes
The release adds vector drawing from different perspectives and DXF export with 3D information. Other changes address L3 mapping robustness, outdoor high-precision optimization, mesh textures, panorama seams and overlapping map regions. XGRIDS states that the 4.1 series requires data from firmware version 3.0.0 or later.
Review a complete processing chain
DRT recommends checking the scanner firmware, desktop software and intended deliverable together. Keep the raw capture as a separate project asset. Process a representative dataset, inspect coverage and alignment, and open an exported file in the receiving application. A successful export is more informative than simply seeing the project open in the processing software.
Choose a useful acceptance sample
Use a dataset containing the conditions that matter to your work: connected spaces, outdoor transitions, a stockpile or the surfaces you plan to draw. Record the processing settings and the output format alongside the software version. Ask the receiving designer or survey team to review the result before changing the workflow across active projects. This creates a repeatable handoff and makes later comparisons easier to explain.
