What’s New
Cyclone 3DR 2026.1.2 is a minor release including improvements and bug fixes for stability.
Users under maintenance on may access version 2026.1.x with no new license required, in accordance with the maintenance expiration date policy.
Improvements
-
Clean > Auto Classification: Updated Road model with improvements regarding bridge and tunnel structures, now matching the classification quality of Leica Pegasus Office.
-
View > GeoTags Browser: Double-clicking on a GeoTag in the scene now triggers the Edit GeoTag command directly. The GeoTag browser list also automatically scrolls to the corresponding entry when hovering a GeoTag in the scene.
New script API
The script engine now supports import statements, asynchronous fetch API calls and WebAssembly modules.
-
import: Organise scripts into reusable modules and share logic across workflows.
-
fetch: Connect to external systems and REST APIs directly from a script.
-
WebAssembly: Run high-performance algorithms.
Together, these additions turn the scripting environment into a more complete automation platform, enabling connected pipelines, enterprise-grade scripts, and custom workflows without the need for external tools.
A new tutorial has been added to the API documentation to explain all the different usages: Advanced Tutorials > Async, Fetch, Import & WebAssembly.
Bug Fixes
-
Application: Fixed a bug making all commands unresponsive after right-clicking on a command tooltip in the ribbon.
-
CloudWorx > Convert Project: Fixed intensity values of the point cloud being inverted during conversion.
-
Extract Ortho-image: Fixed image size settings were not saved in the preset file, which made it impossible to modify the presets to define the image.
-
GeoTags: Fixed GeoTag selection being broken when an active clipping object was clipping at least one GeoTag.
-
Hexagon GeoCloud: Fixed authentication failing on some IT configurations. Authentication is now handled through the default web browser.
-
Measure Angle Between Lines: Fixed incompatibility with temporary polylines created during a command (such as Virtual Surveyor, Draw Polyline, Contour Lines, etc.).
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.
-
While 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 does not work with NVidia driver 573.48 version. Fixed with 580.92 version.
-
Scan to Steel is not compatible with point cloud directly streamed from Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS.
-
NWD files prior to Navisworks 2016 can’t be imported.
-
Hexagon GeoCloud: Disconnecting from the active account may not work properly, causing the application to reconnect to the initial account when switching accounts.
Deprecated Features
Leica Geosystems strives to provide support for the widest array of operating systems and file formats possible as is reasonable 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.
Cyclone 3DR 2026.1.0 and later:
