shrug-l: Terrestrial LiDAR - software viewer recommendations?

[Jay Johnson]

Greetings to all, from frigid Reno, NV (14 degrees at 8 a.m.). I'm excited to have my first chance to work with some terrestrial LiDAR and am looking for input on software for viewing and manipulating the data.  This is data from a tripod mounted laser scanner that was set up on several stations to capture a rocky landscape of about 7 acres that includes two hills and some man-made features.  Our subcontractor is supplying a rendered fly-through, ground surface contours and some sort of point file. If any of my fellow SHRUGEES have worked with this type of data I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations.  The man-made features of interest on the landscape require a full 3D environment - they have overhangs and undercuts (i.e. a given x,y coordinate can have more than one z value).   Thanks and best wishes to all for a wonderful holiday. Jay Johnson
