I have noticed that if I export a scan project from the X7 tablet which is running Trimble Perspective to an .rcp format to be used in Autodesk programs, the registration between station setups that is established during the scanning process is not carried over. Therefore each station scan must be re-registered through ReCap which I do not understand as this process was already completed, saved, and "refine registration" has been performed on the X7 tablet prior to exporting. Similarly with georeferencing your scan project, this does not seems to transfer over when exporting to .rcp format.
Does anyone have experience with this problem and have any recommendations? Has anyone successfully been able to export to other file formats such as .e57 and noticed that the auto-registration and georeferencing performed in the field has been uncompromised?
Thanks

If I remember correctly, via *.las and *.e57 it works correctly.

You should be able to "by-pass registration" and let Recap continue indexing the scans. I haven't really used the RCP file from the tablet directly since I usually like to check the registration on the PC, segment etc.

Always use e57 export from X7 and not RCP.
It's quicker to export it to e57, import it to Recap,, skip registration and let it index than to use the direct RCP export.
in some cases, the RCP export from X7 is bigger than the one created from e57, plus opening panoramic views took a few more seconds every station for some reasons.
long story short; export e57 and use this format in Recap using the skip registration button if using Recap Pro.
cheers,

Re: X7 Exporting to .rcp Results in Loss of In-Field Registration
why are you running the scans through recap if they are already rcp files?
