Overview
Starting November 18th, Prevu3D is introducing a new way to manage and store 3D data across all product lines: the Data Bundle.
A Data Bundle is a unified container that holds every representation of your 3D data — from raw inputs to optimized and visualized formats. It replaces the old model where point clouds, meshes, and artifacts were managed separately.
This new foundation ensures data consistency, accelerates processing, and unlocks future capabilities for RealityPlan, RealityTwin, and RealityComposer.
What Is a Data Bundle?
A Data Bundle groups all raw data and its derived outputs under one consistent structure:
Raw inputs: E57, LAS, images, videos, meshes, etc.
Optimized outputs: Pointcloud tilesets, RealityMeshes (HLOD), Photospheres.
Future-ready: Supports upcoming formats such as Gaussian splats.
In short, everything related to a single scan now lives inside one unified bundle. Your new source of truth for all visual and processing workflows.
Why This Matters
1. Unified data model
Previously, point clouds and meshes were treated as separate entities. This often led to:
Workarounds to synchronize edits between representations.
Inconsistencies between the point cloud and mesh representation due to the Project Editor cropping.

The new Data Bundle architecture eliminates this fragmentation. All representations share the same core data and metadata, meaning that:
A mask or edit applied once propagates across all visual formats.
You can switch between point cloud, mesh, or future formats seamlessly in the different viewers.
Set the ground to be more independent of the mesh representation.

2. Cross-product compatibility
Data Bundles power every Prevu3D product:
RealityPlan: Uses bundles as the base for design and layout projects.
RealityTwin and RealityComposer: Imports layers (Data Bundles) and Stream point clouds, meshes, and photospheres in one environment.
RealityConnect: Access data directly from the platform, no more manual conversions.
3. Scalable and future-proof
The new model supports evolving data formats, from photogrammetry to 360° video.
By unifying all inputs and outputs, Prevu3D can now evolve without requiring structural rework for each new type of data.
What’s Changing in the Product
New “Data Bundle” Card
The following elements are being consolidated:
Old: “Pointcloud,” “RealityMesh,” and “Artifacts” cards.
New: A single Data Bundle card containing all related representations.

Revamped 3D Data Viewer
The platform now includes a new 3D Data Viewer that replaces the old Point Cloud Viewer allowing you to:
View point clouds, meshes, and photospheres side by side.
Validate data quality directly in the browser.
Leverage a single viewer experience across all product lines.

Project Editor Replacement
The legacy Project Editor is being retired in favor of RealityComposer, which offers:
Unified masking and cleaning tools.
Operations that apply consistently to all representations.
Migration Details
Timeline
November 18th: Feature flag enabled for all new accounts and demo accounts.
November 2025–January 2026: Phased migration of legacy data for existing paid accounts.
What will happen, short version
Most projects will be migrated automatically, with no action required from customers and no downtime. A small number of complex cases will require manual verification, and our Customer Success and Platform teams will coordinate directly with the affected teams.
Automatic migration — Step 1
The majority of projects will be upgraded automatically, covering over 90% of the data currently on the platform.
If your point cloud, mesh, and artifacts share the same site location, roles, and permissions, they will be merged into a single Data Bundle.
For these automatic upgrades there is no interruption to service, and the change will be transparent in the product.
Manual migration — Step 2
Some projects have configurations that prevent safe automatic conversion, for example when assets span different site locations, show mismatched permissions, or contain other inconsistencies.
In those cases our Customer Success and Platform teams will reach out to the teams that own the data, share a short report identifying the datasets that need attention, and work with you to complete the migration.
We will only require confirmation or a small amount of verification for these cases, and we will not proceed without your agreement.
How accounts are handled
Legacy accounts will be migrated in a phased rollout, performed in batches to reduce risk and allow Customer Success to review lists before work begins.
If you have accounts that should not be migrated at this time, or accounts you would like prioritized, please contact your Customer Success manager as soon as possible so we can accommodate your request.
Customer Success will be given the opportunity to flag accounts for deferral before a batch is migrated.
Impact and availability
No downtime. Migration is non-disruptive and will not interrupt customers using the product. You will be able to continue working exactly as before.
Visibility. After migration, Data Bundles and the Data Bundle viewer will be available where you expect them. For manual cases we will provide clear instructions and a short report listing any actions required.
Support. If you notice anything unexpected after migration, contact your Customer Success manager and we will resolve it quickly.
Looking Ahead
Data Bundles are not just an infrastructure change, they’re the foundation for the future of the Prevu3D ecosystem.
They ensure:
Consistency and reliability across all visual representations.
Simplified data management for teams.
Scalable architecture ready for next-generation formats and workflows.
This change enables faster innovation across RealityTwin, RealityPlan, and RealityComposer, bringing your entire 3D workflow closer together.
