In November of 2024, we acquired a NavVis MLX Scanner. The control upload file is reversed and metric. The first upload took some fiddling and I don’t want to remember the format so I created this to take the format I most commonly work in and export the format that NavVis needs. The input is a TXT file in PNEZD, comma delimited. Since we are using US Ft, the default is for US Ft. You can select iFt if you are using that flavor. The export file will include a suffix of -ESE and will export the PENZ (PXYZ) in meters. Click the Export Converted TXT File and you have what you need to send to NavVis.

Happy April Fool’s Day 2026. For those of you who noticed and for those of you who will now notice, your file download comes with a sound. It is the mating call of the Calliope Hummingbird.
