How to Export From LCC Studio and Upload to Splat Labs

If you have captured a scene with an XGRIDS device — PortalCam or Lixel L2 Pro — and processed it in LCC Studio, getting it into Splat Labs Cloud takes just a few minutes. Export the project from LCC Studio, create a new project in Splat Labs, drag the folder in, and you are done.

This guide walks through each step.

Full walkthrough: export from LCC Studio and upload to Splat Labs Cloud.


Step 1: Export From LCC Studio

Open LCC Studio and find the project you want to upload. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to the project name and select Export.

In the export dialog:

  1. Choose an export path — pick a folder on your computer where the exported files will be saved.
  2. Select LCC as the export type — this ensures the export includes all the files Splat Labs needs: the Gaussian Splat data, collision mesh, metadata, and thumbnail.

Click Export and wait for the process to complete. LCC Studio creates a folder containing everything needed for the upload.


Step 2: Create a New Project in Splat Labs

Log in to Splat Labs Cloud and click Create Project in the left sidebar.

  1. Set the location — a map appears where you can place a pin at the location where the scan was captured. This helps organize your projects geographically and is useful when sharing with collaborators.
  2. Add a name — give your project a descriptive name so you can find it later.
  3. Add a description (optional) — include any notes about the scan, site, or purpose.

Click Continue to proceed to the data upload step.


Step 3: Upload the Export Folder

The Manage Data modal opens after creating the project. Click Add Project Data, then drag and drop the entire export folder from LCC Studio into the upload area.

The folder typically contains files like:

  • warehouse.lcc (or similar .lcc file)
  • collisions.lci
  • data.bin
  • environment.bin
  • index.bin
  • log.txt
  • thumb.jpeg

Upload the complete folder — do not pick individual files. Splat Labs needs all of these components to build the full 3D experience with collision support.

Once the upload finishes, click Save. Splat Labs processes the data and your project is ready to view.


What Happens After Upload

Splat Labs automatically converts the LCC export into a cloud-optimized format. Within a few minutes you can:

  • View the 3D scene in the browser on any device
  • Share a link with clients, stakeholders, or team members
  • Embed the viewer on your website using an iframe
  • Add annotations — pin documents, photos, and videos to specific locations in the scene
  • Walk through the scene using first-person navigation with the included collision mesh
