Trimble Scan Essential performance

When it comes to the point cloud size limit, there really isn’t one. We have customers using files in Scan Essentials with the number of scan stations ranging from 500-1200+. It all depends on the computer you are using and its processing power. For very large projects, we recommend more RAM to help assist the CPU and use a solid-state drive since the engine is fetching a lot of data from it. We also recommended a non integrated GPU and avoid using 4K monitors so that it does not hinder the rendering of point clouds.

Thank you for your feedback and please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!
