Register 360 with P40 (levelled) Data

[HDSilva]

Hello,
I have a doubt concerning Register 360.
Will register 360 recognizes Levelled Setup from a P40 scanner. And with this in mind can it link two p40 levelled setups with only 2 targets (like cyclone core)?

I ususally import p40 data into cyclone core, and RTC360 data into register 360. Now I wanted to try to import the P40 data and RTC360 into Register 360, perform the regitration an then open the same project in cyclone core to "fine tune" the registration. My concern is that I loose the levelled aspect of the P40 setups when passin in the register 360.

Any thoughts on this matter?

Thanks in advance,
Hugo

Hi Hugo,

Granted your on the latest versions, your P40 scans will retain their levelled status (you just won't be able to use the correct tilt tool in visual alignment) and you will also be able to constrain them with just 2 targets:

You'd be better to acquire the targets and name them in the field as the fine target scans don't come through to Reg360, this will make the process a bit quicker in the office for you.

I think he would also need to make sure the UCS is based on the Pxx scans and not one from the RTC360.

Does this apply to other scanners besides Leica ? I am thinking of Faro.
My previous experience of Register 360 was that c-c registration ignored the orientations of the individual fls scans and tilted them for best match with the neighbours. This does not necessarily give good results in tight indoor spaces with long chains of interconnected scans. Trimble Realworks has the option to switch levelling on or off per scan, which has saved my day more than once. I wonder if Register 360 has something similar.

Hi Hugo,

You can toggle on and off "leveled" in Cyclone Core but not Register360 at this stage, I'm not familiar with what data is retained in fls files running into Reg360; however, if you have Auto Cloud ticked on this may be why it's trying to align your data itself instead of respecting the field positions. You could try importing a small amount of data and tick off all the options on the right to see if they come through in the positions you set in the field.
