Re: Raw scan format and possible issues
All modern Leica solutions use LGS as their raw format which is a closed format which can't be read by most 3rd party software at this point in time. There have been a fair number of threads here about people running into conversion issues, someone with more experience of using Scene with Leica equipment might be able suggest an efficient workflow.Hristiansen wrote: ↑Tue Nov 17, 2020 7:22 am Hi,everyone ,i ve got really simple questions ,based on survey that i do -

Re: Raw scan format and possible issues
Which scanner are you using? Most of the Leica scanners need the data to be processed before putting out an E57.

Re: Raw scan format and possible issues
I use FARO FOCUS 3D S120 ,but what i'm really trying to figure out is next -Is the leica export format E 57* makes it compatible to Faro Scene .I ve had a problem with format ,generally supported by Faro Scene,but scanned with third party sowtware ,and i guess during configuration of the files all turned into total loss.
