2. From the top menu, click *Share* and then *Copy tileset URL*. This copies the tileset link to your clipboard.
3. Save the link for later use or paste it directly into your target software by following instructions in [#streaming-in-external-software](#streaming-in-external-software "mention").

### **Get 3D Tileset URL for filtered or cropped datasets**

1. Follow the instructions in [Merging, cropping, and filtering datasets](/user-guides/merging-cropping-and-filtering-datasets.md).&#x20;

2. In the *Area crop* panel, click *Share* and then *Copy tileset URL*. The link will be copied to your clipboard for use in external tools. Follow instructions in [#streaming-in-external-software](#streaming-in-external-software "mention").

### **Streaming in external software**

LumiDB supports point cloud streaming into any application that supports Cesium 3D Tilesets. To enable this, you'll need a personal API key for authentication. Contact <support@lumidb.com>\
to request your key.

This example uses the [6DPlanner](https://www.6dplanner.com/) software.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/nhRPt0YTEFdmQ0L0tEy4" alt="" width="410"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

1. In 6DPlanner, open *Data Tree* → *Add datasets*.
2. Select the *Tiles* option.

3. Required fields:
   1. **Linkki:** Paste the 3D Tileset URL copied earlier
   2. **Käyttäjänimi:** Use `apikey`
   3. **Salasana:** Enter your personal API key
4. Click *Add dataset* to start streaming.
