Why Convert PTS to USDZ?
PTS is typically produced by or used with laser scanners and survey tools, for simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export. USDZ is expected by iOS AR Quick Look instead, for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format — converting bridges that gap.
Our engine reads a file built around simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export and rebuilds it aiming to preserve this: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references — rather than producing a generic, lowest-common-denominator result.
PTS works well for simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export, but has a real limitation: no structure beyond raw coordinates (and sometimes color). Converting trades that for this: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the conversion take?
Most conversions finish in 10-30 seconds. Larger or more complex files can take up to a minute.
Why would I need USDZ instead of just keeping PTS?
Mainly when your workflow specifically calls for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format — that's USDZ's whole reason for existing, and PTS isn't built to provide it, since it's focused on simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export instead.
What's the real difference between PTS and USDZ?
PTS is built around simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export (a plain-text point-cloud format). USDZ is built around Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format instead (a zipped, self-contained package of USD) — different enough that this is a genuine format conversion, not just a rename.
What happens to features specific to PTS that USDZ doesn't have?
PTS's real strength — a minimal, human-readable point-cloud format — has no equivalent once converted, since USDZ's constraint is: not directly editable — meant for distribution, not authoring.
Can I convert the file back from USDZ to PTS afterward?
Only what USDZ actually carries can come back — anything specific to PTS's role in simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export that didn't survive the original conversion won't reappear.
