XGRIDS has announced that LixelStudio will upload point clouds directly to Trimble Connect starting November 15.
LixelStudio is the XGRIDS processing software for its Lixel scanners, including the Lixel L3 unveiled at INTERGEO 2026, and it exports LAS, E57 and RCP point clouds alongside OBJ and OSGB meshes.
XGRIDS describes the workflow in four steps, capture with an XGRIDS scanner, process in LixelStudio, upload to Trimble Connect, then collaborate with the project team. The post names LAS and E57 point clouds as the files that will move. It does not mention RCP, meshes, or LCC files, the gaussian splatting format XGRIDS produces in LCC Studio.
XGRIDS thanks the Trimble team "from Trimble SketchUp to Trimble Connect" without saying what the SketchUp work involved. SketchUp's Gaussian Splats extension lists .lcc among its supported import formats. Trimble has not published its own statement on the integration.
XGRIDS is exhibiting at booth 314 at Trimble Dimensions 2026, which runs November 9 to 11 in Las Vegas. XGRIDS says the integration will go live on November 15.
