All modern Leica solutions use LGS as their raw format which is a closed format which can't be read by most 3rd party software at this point in time. There have been a fair number of threads here about people running into conversion issues, someone with more experience of using Scene with Leica equipment might be able suggest an efficient workflow.

Which scanner are you using? Most of the Leica scanners need the data to be processed before putting out an E57.

I use FARO FOCUS 3D S120 ,but what i'm really trying to figure out is next -Is the leica export format E 57* makes it compatible to Faro Scene .I ve had a problem with format ,generally supported by Faro Scene,but scanned with third party sowtware ,and i guess during configuration of the files all turned into total loss.
