The "File" menu manages the opening and saving of Zephyr project files, as well as few other functions.


In addition to the self-explanatory open/save, other functions are:

Load Model


This function allows loading of a model into Zephyr to use it as a viewer. Loading a model will force the current workspace to be closed. The following file formats are supported:


  • ply
  • las
  • ptx
  • obj
  • e57
  • collada (xml, dae)
  • pts
  • xyz
  • rcp
  • fls, fws (Faro)
  • zfs (Z+F)
  • dp (Dot Product)
  • rdbx (RIEGL)


Please note that the Faro, RIEGL, DotProduct and Z+F require the installation of additional plugins available for free at the URL http://www.3dflow.net/native-laser-scanner-support-plugin-3df-zephyr-download/
