One can view pointclouds in the browser along with other format files like SketchUp, but it involves a few steps, some of them might feel uncomfortable.
First, you need to download Trimble Connect for Desktop:
https://download.connect.trimble.com/tcd/TrimbleConnectSetup-1.22.0.523-x64.exe
Once downloaded and installed, you need to adjust or add a hive in the registry, which might be the tricky part:
Open the register and go to this Hive:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Trimble\Trimble Connect\Settings
Restart the app again and look for the project, click on the (standard) View and than on the right on the cloud icon (=Pointclouds):
Once viewable, go back to the explorer in TC for Desktop and notice the creation of a standard folder called ’ Pointclouds’
Sync with the project by selecting that folder and press the sync button.
Depending on the upload speed, it may take a while…
Once uploaded, it will create a .potree file in the browser, which you than can view:
