Register360 to Microstation V8i - Help needed

Post by bkeller »

Hello all,

I work with Leica Cyclone Register 360 and need to get a good workflow to deliver the scans for Microstation v8i.

My client can not convert the data into pod. The problem seems to be the huge data (18 GB), when exported as e57-file.
Does anybody here have a workflow for me? Does the client need another program to convert the file?

Regards

Export it as single registered ptx and pod creator works fine.

** it does work with larger groups of exported ptx but its a lot slower

Thank you steves01x,
I will try this and if it doesn't work, I will come back.
I did sent e57-files to my colleague, but he can't convert the whole file into .pod. Seems to be too large.
Regards, BK

You could publish the data to an LGS file via a PUBLISHER PRO license and have your client connect to this file with the CloudWorx MicroStation plugin if this helps?

So I promised to keep you posted. This is what ultimately worked for us:

1. Install "Bentley Pointtools PODcreator"
2. Export pointcloud from Cyclone Register 360 as .ptx-file.
3. Open PODcreator and convert .ptx with the following settings: export options -> POD per file

Update 2:

workflow from yesterday does NOT work. Why ? We don't know.

In Cyclone Register 360 the project is fine. I can not evaluate what is going on afterwards. Is it the export als .ptx or is it the PODcreator?

My partner imports the POD-file into Microstation and same parts of the cloud are angled. And he says that it seems that each viewpoint is there like 5 times.

If anybody has some suggestions - they are more than welcome.

If you export 2 registered scans in ptx from Cyclone then re-import them are the still registered?

I doubt its pod creator causing the issue - its usually some issue with how Cyclone exports data, can you try the full version of Cyclone as the last 2 versions work perfectly with exported ptx to pod.
