2025.1.0 | CloudWorx Plugins Release Notes

What’s New

The 2025.1.0 version is a major release that introduces support for Autodesk 2026, COE integration in CloudWorx for AutoCAD, enhancements to classification, fitter functionality, and other commonly used CloudWorx functionality. It also includes general bug fixes.

Autodesk 2026 Version Compatibility

CloudWorx for AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks now supports the 2026 versions of the host software, allowing users to leverage all CloudWorx features within the Autodesk 2026 environment.

Classification Enhancement

To manage multiple classes within a classified point cloud more effectively, it is now possible to multi-select and multi-toggle classes on or off as follows:

1. Navigate to CloudWorx | Rendering | Color Mapping.

2. In the Point Cloud Color Mapping dialog, select Classification in the Color Mapping field, click Apply, and then click Class Visibility.

3. Hold down the Shift key and select multiple classes. Then, click a check box for one of the selected classes, and all the selected classes are toggled off at once.

The inverse action will multi-toggle the selected classes on.

4. Hold down the Ctrl key and select the classes individually. Then, click a check box for one of the selected classes, and all the selected classes are toggled off.

The inverse action will multi-toggle the selected classes on.

COE Integration in CloudWorx for AutoCAD

Cyclone Object Exchange (COE) compatibility has been integrated into CloudWorx for AutoCAD. The CloudWorx ribbon now includes the COE panel with the following tools:

• Import COE (COEIN)—Takes the proprietary COE files that contain 3D objects created in Cyclone Core and converts them into 3D solids in AutoCAD.

• Export COE (COEOUT)—Exports the geometry modelled in AutoCAD to the COE file.

• Explode Blocks (COEXPLODE)—Takes a grouped object in AutoCAD and breaks it out into individual components.

Improved Part Adjustment Experience in Steel Fitter

The Steel fitter has been improved to include buttons for adjusting steel geometry when using a catalogue. These buttons are now accessible in the Select from Parts Table dialog, enabling users to fine-tune the automatic fit of the steel part to better match the point cloud.

Additionally, the existing mouse-based controls remain functional. The arrow icons appear when moving the pointer over the corners and midpoints of the fitting area.

Optimised Window and Door Fitting Workflow

The Window and Door fitters available in CloudWorx for Revit have been updated to improve user experience and enhance the fitting algorithm. The Fence method is now set as default during the window and door fitting process, providing more reliable and accurate detection results.

Please note that a wall for placing a window or door should be created beforehand using the Wall fitter. This approach helps define wall geometry more precisely and results in better alignment of window or door elements.

Interface Refinements in Clipping Manager

To make the Clipping Manager more intuitive and ensure button labels clearly reflect their intended actions, several buttons have been renamed as follows:

Point Snapping State Verification

Users can now easily determine whether point snapping is enabled by checking the status message that appears in the CAD command line when the feature is toggled on or off.

Streamlined Navigation in SmartPick View

The SmartPick View toolbar now features buttons for easy manipulation of the point cloud view, allowing users to zoom in or out and rotate the view in any direction.

Bug Fixes

All CloudWorx

• Fixed an issue that prevented E57 files without intensity values from being properly converted in LGSx. Valid LGSx files are now generated as expected.

• Fixed an issue where CloudWorx tools—for example, the Pipe Modeler or Floor Plan tool—opened on a secondary monitor during a previous session, became inaccessible in a subsequent session when only one monitor was used.

CloudWorx for Revit

• Fixed an issue that caused Revit to close unexpectedly when exiting a family file, even if it didn’t contain point cloud data.

Upgrades

Upgrading Leica CloudWorx Installation

Administrator-level privileges for the workstation are required to correctly install Leica CloudWorx software. CloudWorx requires at minimum CLM version 2.14, which can be found in the dependency folder in the installation files.

First, uninstall the relevant CloudWorx plugin (i.e. CloudWorx for AutoCAD). Run the latest CloudWorx installer as an administrator and follow the directions given in the installation wizard.

Deprecated Features

Leica Geosystems strives to provide support for the widest array of operating systems and file formats possible given current technologies and support from third-party partners.

With each release, we review our list of currently supported formats and operating systems in line with industry trends and announced product terminations.

Leica Geosystems may add or terminate support for a file format during any release. Obsolete operating systems will be supported for six months after their announced termination or the next major software release, whichever comes first. Server products will be supported in alignment with Leica’s Client License Manager (CLM) supported servers to guard users against incompatibility.

Please reference the Leica Geosystems Deprecated Features policy for a complete listing of discontinued features, formats and operating systems.

CloudWorx 2022.0.2 (All)

• CLM versions prior to 2.5 are no longer supported.

CloudWorx 2023.0 for PDMS

• CloudWorx for PDMS is phased out after version 2023.0.

CloudWorx 2023.1 for Bentley

• 2023.1.0 no longer supports 32-bit MicroStation V8i. The last version to support V8i is 2023.0.1.

• CloudWorx 2024.1 and later does not connect to JetStream Enterprise.

Known Issues

Reality Cloud Studio Limit Boxes

Projects uploaded to Reality Cloud Studio between October 2024 and February 2025 may have an issue where limit boxes created in Reality Cloud Studio have an incorrect origin or “anchor point” and should not be activated in the clipping manager in CloudWorx. To correct this issue, re-upload the original file to Reality Cloud Studio.

Streaming From Reality Cloud Studio

IT security measures such firewalls and packets sniffers can affect the performance of streaming data from Reality Cloud Studio. For the best streaming performance, all URLs associated with HxDR and Reality Cloud Studio should be whitelisted by local IT departments.

Support for Reality Cloud Studio Projects

When searching for a specific project file name in the Reality Cloud Studio client browser, the search will be limited based on the user’s account access to the folder where the project file is stored.

After rendering a point cloud dataset that is streamed from Reality Cloud Studio to the CloudWorx workspace the Setups' naming that can be viewed either in the ScanWorld Explorer or TruSpace Explorer are not preserved.

Bentley MicroStation Rendering Issues

In some views, all points may not completely render.

CloudWorx for Revit Cable Tray Fitter

The cable tray fitter does not currently provide an accurate fit by size and may be rotated incorrectly. For example, a channel cable tray may be oriented upside down.

CloudWorx Toolbar Is Missing After Installation

Some host applications do not show the Ribbon toolbar by default. As such, a user may need to enable it to properly see all the CloudWorx tools. To do so, right-click on the toolbar and select Ribbon to turn it on.

Unusual Empty Margin When Viewing in Perspective

Users will experience an unusual empty border around their point cloud view when view is launched from TruSpace. Due to the nature of perspective rendering, the issue is exaggerated when the user zooms as well as when the viewing window is wider (e.g., 16:9 ratio).

Modified Usage for Asian Languages

Some actions and dialogs do not execute properly when operating CloudWorx in an Asian language.

Temporary ModelSpace

When working with IMP data, users may see a temporary ModelSpace created within Cyclone to support rendering in CloudWorx. All ModelSpace views are temporary and will not be permanently added to a project. It is not a requirement that Cyclone be running while using CloudWorx.

Equivalent User Permissions Requirement

When working with IMP data, the host application must be run with the same level of user privileges as Cyclone was originally configured with. Meaning if Cyclone is configured to Run As Administrator, then the host application should be Run As Administrator to connect to Cyclone and open an IMP.

Importing MultiStation Data

There may be a delay when importing MultiStation data into CloudWorx. Users may see an error message which states that the server is not available. However, this message will disappear, and data will be imported as expected.

LGS Usage over Network

The use of LGS files is only officially supported when the files are saved locally. Due to variations between network deployments, LGS files may be unreliable when published to or hosted in a network location.

Graphics Card Compatibility in BricsCAD

Some laptop computers with both integrated and dedicated graphics cards might experience an issue when connecting to RCS. Users can set BricsCAD program preferences to use the integrated graphics GPU to resolve the issue.

Licensing

All users with currently valid CCP (Customer Care Package), or with CCP valid as late as 1-April 2025, can run this new version with no new license required.
