I see! If you have the data as individual scans it should help you out. :D

Dan, I have seen this option before and will try it now.

CAD Software • Cloudworx: Model expoorted from AutoCAD uncomplete
Hey friends,

I did a simple model in autocad using cloudworx. when I export the model through COE, i found the uncomplete model in Cyclone. only sveral lines have been exported.

What I checked:

1, export options (export all, visible, seleted)
2, layers in Cyclone

really have no idea what happened.

AND, point clouds always disappear from autocad and I have to close the modelspace view and bring the points back. then have to re-hide the points.

Wish to hear some suggestion from you guys.

Any Other Issues • Re: Laser Scanned Data Exchange Standard Approved
Cool I would say that in my world of CG VFX the new standard seems to be FBX as a file formmate taking over form
three main ones 3DS, OBJ and MA file formats,

see full speck on FBX here

http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/d ... bx/fbx.pdf

but the list of file 3d formats is crazy in the CG world any thing that can look like a standard ill take.

Request Help With Projects • Rescale intensity values
If you have scan data with lots of different intensity values can you do somthing to make this data more visually appealing, somthing like re-scale intensity values?

We have Cyclone v6, Faro Scen v4.7 and Pointools View Pro v1.8.

Request Help With Projects • Re: Rescale intensity values
Hi Phil.

From my point of view, the problem may be that each vendor uses slightly different ways to record and encode the intensity. If a standardisation is possible at all, it would require detailed knowledge of how the intensity reading in the data was created.
For example PTX format alone allows to have linear and non-linear coded intensity. But even if you know which method is used, you could still map the intensity differently to the used scale.

Maybe the 3rd party developers focussing on visualisation of point clouds have the best chances to develop some balancing features on their side.

Hope this helps,
Oliver Bürkler

My guess that you have performed Bolean operations on the model. What sort of modelling have you done.

You did a great job in Reshaper, but now i need to use the angel in Sketchup. We did some buildings in the Caravaggio Sanctuary (See the KMZ bellow) but now we must put the angel on the top. How can i use this angel on the Sketchup? In what format can you export the mesh besides MSH? There´s some workaround?

Cyclone • Re: Cyclone 7 to Cyclone 6 rollback error
If you are using Windows 7, be sure that you uninstall Cyclone 7 then remove the entire Leica Geosystems directory under \Program Files (x86)\ and \users\[your local user]\AppData\Roaming\. Reinstall Cyclone 6 and you should be set.

Leica Geosystems • Virtual Scanner Won't Connect
We seem to be having an issue that may have been caused by our switching from a workgroup to a domain controlled network. For some reason none of our workstations can connect to a configured virtual scanner. We get the 40% bar and then nothing.

It really has us pulling out our hair. Firewalls are off, even tried taking the workstation back out of the domain. It seems that something was changed and it just wont change back.

Anyone have any ideas??

Modeling Software • Re: about modeling software
in reshaper there are plenty of export formats that will have a direct or short route in to sketchup. Have a look at the import options in sketchup and compare with the export ones from reshaper.

If you can convert them to a surface mesh Cyclone will read it.

CAD Software • Re: Cloudworx: Model expoorted from AutoCAD uncomplete
Cyclone will only accept basic models such as 3D solid objects. Anything that is a surface or line model may not export the way you wish it too.

Im not sure why the points are keep going missing, you may need to check with Leica Support to make sure you have the latest and correct version of Cloudworx for the AutoCAD version you are using.

Leica Geosystems • Work process for carrying out Laser Scanning on a Drill Ship
Hi all,

I need suggestions as to how I can carry out Laser Scanning on a ship (FPSO) using an HDS6100 scanner.

Is there any particular work process I need to follow to ensure the repeatability (i.e. uniformity in measurements of same item taken from different scanworlds) of the data? I am seeking to achieve an accuracy of between 1/4" and ± 1/8" across board within the network.

I'd appreciate if I can get a response to this soon.

Thanks all for your anticipated support.

Hej Steven and Matt,

You are right, I perform Bolean operations... and also rotation from a polyline.

But there are really objects like this, and I always feels better when I bring the cad models back to cyclone and check if they fit the clouds.
