The JetStream Viewer has been rebranded to the name TruView 2021. It is recommended users upgrade.
New features were added to TruView free viewer for LGS files. Some users will continue to use the JSViewer as a no cost end client viewing program that operates in Windows until they migrate over. The viewer opens two types of files; JetStream .jsv and .lgs file.
The JSViewer allows clients the ability to freely move through the point cloud modelspace and view panoramic images from the scan positions.
Viewing of embedded assets like photographs and taking measurements are standard tools.
The .lgs file allows end users the ability to capture images from scanner positions and save a scripted presentation where annotations on the point cloud can be viewed.
The .jsv file does not allow end users as many controls to present like the .lgs provides.
Example: The .jsv file type cannot create snapshots or develop and save presentations.
A portable self extracting version of the JetStream Viewer is offered. This is an older version of the self extracting viewer. A new self extracting viewer is offered for the TruView 2021 viewer.
The JetStreamViewer2020.exe file is placed on a USB drive along with your published .LGS or .JSV file. Sharing the data is possible without having to load the JetStream Viewer program to the Windows viewing computer.
IT Administrator permissions sometimes lock out the loading of software - the Portable Viewer is an excellent option in these cases.
Both the JetStream Viewer Program and JetStream Portable Viewer can be downloaded at the below url link.
