Starting from SCENE 2024.0, you can upload projects from SCENE to Sphere XG.

If you tried uploading an Orbis project processed in SCENE to Sphere XG in the past and the result was faulty, synchronize the project again with SCENE 2025 and a Sphere XG version after 4 June 2025. For more information on synchronizing projects, see Upload and Download SCENE Projects to/from Sphere XG in the SCENE user manual.

You can access the SCENE project in Sphere XG as soon as the overview map, i.e. the sheet has been created. Sphere XG will automatically update while the upload is progressing.

Especially in very large SCENE projects it may happen that the project is only partially uploaded, for example if a scan failed to upload. However, the SCENE project will still be accessible as soon as the overview map has been generated.

You can check for upload issues in the Cloud Activity form. In case of an error, the following error message will be displayed.

Note that you cannot upload Freestyle scans and Swift mobile scans.
