Maximum Leica Cyclone Project
So im wondering whats the maximum Size .IMP files people have created before, ive currently got one that's just over the 1TB with close to 1000 scans in it, Some RTC and Some P30.
Its now throwing up an Error saying the there is not enough space on the Drive im running it on......
yet it still has close to 2TB free.....
Anyone else have a similar issue?

Re: Maximum Leica Cyclone Project
Cyclone defaults to max 1TB. You have to change the settings to allow for more. I have one just over 2TB now and works fine. The other issue is having enough space for the temp files. 1TB would require up to 2 to 3 times that space to process.

Re: Maximum Leica Cyclone Project
Hi, i have the same problem it was everything oke until imp file went over 1 TB. I have 5.5 TB of free space but still i get that message for no space on disk. Where can I change that default for 1 TB, where is setting located to allow more.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Maximum Leica Cyclone Project
There is a chance you can split that project. We tend to run imp's in the order of 200 or so stations at a time (RTC mostly).
You can then aggregate them all up into a single cyclone job.
Create all your child databases, register the scans and select the registered scan world in each child imp, copy, paste BY REFERENCE - into the master imp - this creates merely a pointer to the child file - note it doesn't copy it - so if archiving - you need to archive all child jobs with it.
You create a final registration in the master job, select all child scanworlds .. register .. done.
Tend to find the file handling a little easier - 5 x 200GB files vs 1 x 1TB+ file. We also scan in "zones" to make this workflow carry from field to office. Zones are primarily organised by overlap - so grouping all overlapping scans - minimising overlap through choke points/corners of buildings etc - with control/targets at the boundaries of zones.
It may be more performant if able to parallel read across multiple db's potentially on different drives - but I haven't bothered to suss that out.

Re: Maximum Leica Cyclone Project
Oke I will do that for the rest of the project but how can i now "save" my database that has alrdy over 1 TB and it is not usable anymore. I deleted from that database like 100 scans or so ... but imp size didnt changed. Why my imp file size is unchanged if I removed 100 scans from the database??
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Maximum Leica Cyclone Project
Once Cyclone gets to 1 terrabyte that is pretty much it. Deleting stuff does not change it. Change the settings so you can go to 2 to 3TB and transfer your files to the new project imp. Everything will work then.

Re: Maximum Leica Cyclone Project
And only way to change that size from 1TB to 2TB is through .cfg file or is there some simple way to do that ??

Re: Maximum Leica Cyclone Project
You can optimize and compact your database in the navigator. This will remove deleted scans from the database and the size should shrink. But it is a time intensive procedure and needs a lot of free disk space. In our experience databases that big can get corrupted and everything is lost. So better make a backup.
Safest way is to split up the database into smaller databases of a maximum 200 - 250 scans.

Re: Maximum Leica Cyclone Project
Just my opinion, but I can't believe that people are creating 1Tb+ databases. There is no sense to it at all and it's asking for trouble.
I have a few databases that have gotten to around 100Gb+ and I think that is pushing it.
Why would you need all of that data in the first place?

If you don't see that there is nothing, then you are kidding yourself.
