File Type 3 BLK360 Data File
A BLK file is a data file created by Leica Geosystems BLK360, an imaging laser scanner used to collect 3D information about an environment for visualization purposes. It contains 3D point cloud data captured by the BLK360 device that describes surrounding objects and terrain. BLK files can be opened by Leica Geosystems Cyclone Register 360, a program bundled with the BLK360 device.
The data in a BLK file was captured by a scan conducted by a BLK360 device. The data is transferred over a WLAN to a computer running Cyclone Register 360, which is used to save the data as a BLK file.
BLK files are commonly used for rendering images of rooms, buildings, and geological surfaces. The device is most prominently used by the surveying, construction, surveying, engineering, and research communities.
