Importing total station data into Pointcloud

Post by Spwilka »

Hello,

I have a pointcloud scene and some total station data that were recorded at seperate times.
How can I import those into my leica cyclone or map 360 software to overlay the data on top of the pointcloud?

Thank you! :)

CSV files can be imported into cyclone (ex PNEZD).

You could create a registration that would match points in the CSV and the point cloud. That would marry the two datasets into one.

Workflow involves making matching ID's of targets you will create in the controlspace of your scan data, with those of the CSV.

As Scott said you can import a csv to cyclone ( txt extension. If you want your total station to be cloud tick the imports as cloud option

If you are talking post-registration - same coordinate system etc like points, arcs, polyline - export a COE out of Civil3D/Autocad etc with the COE plugin. Then import COE (Cyclone Object Exchange) back in on that side.

The COE plugin is in myworld somewhere - possibly Cyclone software or Cloudworx.
