2025.2.1 | Cyclone 3DR Release Notes
What’s New
Cyclone 3DR 2025.2.1 is a minor release including bug fixes for stability.
Users under maintenance on may access version 2025.2.x with no new license required, in accordance with the maintenance expiration date policy.
Improvements
Script: SRTC360Interface to upload RTC360 projects into Cyclone 3DR was added.
Check SRTC360Interface for further details.
Script examples were added on GitHub.
Send To BricsCAD: BricsCAD v26 is supported.
Bug Fixes
Analysis > Unfold Cloud: ‘Reverse path’ option of the path enabled the point cloud visiblity. Fixed.
Clean > Cut Polyline: The selection of polylines after leaving the command was misfunctionning. Fixed.
Measure > Pick Info: The DEL shortcut to delete the created measures was broken. Fixed.
Extract > Scan to Pipe:
Generic: Pipe elements were duplicated after command exit. Fixed.
Extract pipes: Extracted pipe traces may become unusable after performing an undo operation. Fixed.
Script: There was an invalid outputted mesh from calling SPoly.ConstraintMesh3D. Fixed.
Technical changes
7zip: Updated to 25.01 version.
Known Issues
The Documentation Center is only available in English.
Some DWG import and export issues might happen. It is recommended to use the Send to CAD feature.
If DXF can be imported with a standard version, DWG requires the AEC or PRO Edition. One workaround is to use the 3DR Send command from AutoCAD to Cyclone 3DR.
Export viewsets to PDF report or BCF tickets do not work with NVidia driver 573.48 version. Fixed with 580.92 version.
Licensing
All users with valid CCP or CCP which was valid as of for Cyclone 3DR, can run this new version of Cyclone 3DR.
All users with valid CCP or CCP which was valid as of for 3DReshaper, can run this new version of Cyclone 3DR with no new license required. Users with 3DReshaper licenses with expired CCP must migrate to Cyclone 3DR in order to continue to access updates and support. Please contact your sales or support personnel for more information.
All users with valid CCP or CCP which was valid as of for Cyclone SURVEY, can run this new version of Cyclone 3DR (Standard and Survey Edition features only).
All users with valid CCP or CCP which was valid as of for Cyclone MODEL, can run this new version of Cyclone 3DR (Standard and Plant Edition features only).

Compatibility with native JetStream point clouds
Features with LGSx
The following commands can use native JetStream point clouds (LGS/LGSx files, Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS, Cyclone ENTERPRISE) as inputs. In other words, it is not required to proceed a CloudWorx > Convert project step prior to execution of the listed features.
Menu | Feature | Comment |
Extract | Virtual Surveyor | No selection is required for this feature. Thus, it can be used for any kind of object in a 3DR project. |
Extract | Scan to Plan | |
Surface Modeling | Scan to Mesh | A clipping box as input is recommended to define an area of interest. |
Analysis | Stockpile | |
Analysis | FF/FL Analysis | A maximum number of points is exposed in the first step of the workflow. It is recommended to keep a high value to execute an accurate analysis on a dense point cloud. |
Analysis | Visual Notes | No selection is required for this feature. Thus, it can be used for any kind of object in a 3DR project. |
The functionalities of the menus View, CloudWorx and Script can be used for JetStream point clouds.
Images from LGSx
With the capacity to stream images from LGSx files since the 2025.1.0 version of Cyclone 3DR, it is not required to convert the project to visualize the camera images anymore. However, it remains necessary to convert them when the images are used for specific features:
Menu | Feature | Comment |
Texture | Smart Texture Standard Texture Edit Mask | It is mandatory to convert the images from the LGSx when a texturing workflow with images is expected by the user. |
Image object usage | Group / Ungroup | In the treeview, only the converted images from the LGSx file can be grouped and ungrouped. |
Point Selection with LGSx
The standard point selection tools are enabled by the Standard license.
