They move through the walk on the date it was captured, with the floor plan beside it.
Sharing with people outside the project
How Do You Share a Site Walk With Someone Who Has No Account?
You send a link. A SpatialSense share link opens the view you chose in a browser, with no login and nothing to install, and you revoke it when the person no longer needs it.
- 30-day free trial, no card
- Unlimited users
- 24/7 one-to-one support
The short answer
Most site-capture and scan software shows the data to people who hold a licence, and asks everyone else to install a viewer, create an account or wait for an export. SpatialSense works the other way round. Everyone on the project gets a seat, because every plan has unlimited users, and anyone outside the project gets a link that opens in a browser without a login. You decide what the link shows, and when its job is done you revoke it.
What the person you share with gets
- Nothing to installThe link opens in a web browser, so the owner, the consultant or the foreman does not need any software.
- No account to createNobody signs up for one look, which is usually the moment an outside reader gives up.
- The view you choseYou control what the recipient sees: which data is visible, whether the sidebar is open and how the viewer is oriented.
- A link you can take backRevoke the link when the review is over or the person leaves the project.
- Seats for the whole teamInside the project, unlimited users on every plan means nobody shares a login or waits for a licence.
Why is sharing site data with clients so awkward?
We read forum threads and reviews from surveyors, contractors and design teams before writing this page, and one complaint came up in nearly all of them. Capturing the site has become easy, whereas handing the result to the person who asked for it is still slow.
The viewer needs a licence or an install
Desktop scan software shows the full 3D data to whoever owns the licence. The client gets a download and a link to a free viewer, which many never install.
Every guest needs an account
Web viewers often ask outside readers to create an account before they see anything, and an owner or a foreman asked to sign up for one look usually closes the tab.
Links die and files are too big
Some shared projects are deleted after a couple of weeks without a visit, and photo upload limits in project platforms leave 360° images and drone panoramas behind.
Each of those steps loses somebody, and the person lost is usually the one paying for the work or the one who has to fix it. A link that simply opens is what keeps the owner, the consultant and the subcontractor looking at the same site.
What the person you share with sees
Stop by stop
Each stop of the walk opens as a full 360° view, so they look around as if they were standing there.
A free viewer for the files
If you just want to send a file, the Lite Viewer opens LAS, LAZ, PLY, IFC, GLB and splat files free, with no account.
Sharing with SpatialSense and the usual setup, side by side
What changes for the person on the other end of the link.
| SpatialSense | The usual setup | |
|---|---|---|
| Account for outside readers | None. Share links open without a login. | Usually needed for each reader. |
| Software to install | None. Everything opens in a web browser. | Often a desktop viewer for scans. |
| Seats inside the project | Unlimited users on every plan. | Often priced or capped per seat. |
| What the reader sees | The view you chose: the data, the sidebar and the angle are set by you. | Often an export, a screenshot or a PDF. |
| Taking access back | Revoke the link whenever you like. | Varies, and some links lapse on their own. |
| A file you just want to open | The Lite Viewer opens LAS, LAZ, PLY, IFC, GLB and splat files free, with no account. | Usually a download and an install. |

Frequently asked questions
How do I share a 360° site walk with a client?
Open the walk in SpatialSense, set up the view you want the client to see, click Share and send the link. It opens in their web browser without a login, so they move through the walk on the date it was captured. You can revoke the link at any time.
Does the person I share with need an account?
No. Share links open without a login and without installing anything. People who work on the project with you can have their own accounts at no extra cost per person, because every plan has unlimited users.
Can someone open a point cloud without installing software?
Yes. The free Lite Viewer opens LAS, LAZ, PLY, IFC, GLB and splat files in the browser with no account. E57 and PCD files open in the full platform, which you can share as a link in the same way.
Can I stop someone seeing the project later?
Yes. Revoke the share link and it stops working. Inside the project, you manage who has access as people join and leave.
How much does SpatialSense cost?
SpatialSense has per-site pricing with unlimited users (current prices), a Lite Viewer that is free forever with no account needed, and a 30-day free trial of the full platform that needs no card details.
