Range laser scanning evolved as a means for documenting buildings or archeological excavation sites. Point clouds resulting from these laser scans can consist of hundreds of millions of points. To get a clean model from this vast amount of data needs several person months. Instead we try to visualize the data directly, so archeologists can have a quick overview of the already scanned areas (e.g., during a scanning campaign). The models in our viewer are combined point clouds from several scan positions, and it is possible to add new point clouds to an existing model. We also allow for deleting points from the model. Furthermore we developed a heuristic to estimate point sizes, which enables the viewer to display surfaces as closed objects without a special preprocessing step. For the point size heuristic it suffices to know the positions of the points.
