What’s New

This is a major release including a new FF/FL workflow, support for Georeferencing of RTC360 jobs and a new UI/UX in addition to various bug fixes.

New UI/UX

Scanning MiniPlayer

A compact, smart version of the Scanner Control Window. The user can manage scans while simultaneously working on other tasks, such as linking scans or taking measurements.

Smart Data Browser

Consolidates the three previous browsers into a single interface, making it simple to manage scan data, setups, and GeoTags in one place.

Connectivity Browser

The user can connect to the scanner or manage the devices from the job browser or directly within the job itself.

In both cases the workflow is the same:

• select the scanner type

• Enter the SSID and password

• Begin Scanning

Once the scanner is connected you can check the battery level, the Firmware version and the scanner storage from the same Connectivity tab

Dedicated Plug-ins section

To activate the Plug-ins (Quick Plan and FF/FL) activate the Pro license first: open the App Menu and click the Activate button

Once the Pro license is active, you can start the Plug-ins inside any Job from the dedicated section:

Tool section with a new Angular Measurement

A new Tool section in the right-hand sidebar now provides quick access to Measurements. Users can view all measurements in a dedicated browser with filters and multi-selection capabilities, making it easy to organize and apply batch operations.

Job Attachments dedicated browser

New section to manage any attachment file to the Job.

It is possible to add the attachment directly from the browser with the + button or during the Job creation

Georeferencing Workflow

A first of its kind in-field Georeferencing workflow has been added to Cyclone FIELD 360 to support the extraction of targets directly from the raw data of RTC360 scanners and assign real-world coordinates to a point cloud.

This workflow is described in detail in Georeferencing Workflow | Cyclone FIELD 360.

Floor Flatness / Floor Levelness (FF/FL) Workflow

Starting with version 6.0, Cyclone FIELD 360 introduces a much-anticipated Floor Flatness/Floor Levelness routine that complies with ASTM E1155 and ASTM E1155 M standards. This feature, highly sought after in the construction industry, empowers users to effortlessly generate FF/FL reports directly on-site, enabling them to make informed decisions promptly. This workflow can be completed in 3 minutes or less making it suitable for analysis of wet concrete prior to setting to allow for remediation of improperly poured areas.

This workflow is described in detail in Floor Flatness, Floor Levelness (FF/FL) Workflow | Cyclone FIELD 360 .

GNSS position for BLK360 G2

Cyclone FIELD 360 6.0 introduces a new option to add the GNSS location data of the device (tablet or phone) to the scan position. It can be enabled from the Advanced Settings of the scanner, which are accessible from the MiniPlayer.

Improvements

• Firmware Update and Service Report for BLK360 G2 scanner.

• Point Cloud registration improvements

• Image storage​ settings for BLK2GO​ scanners​: a new setting for BLK2GO scanners allows users to choose whether to store images. Opting out decreases file size, but results in a non-colorized point cloud.

• Various bug fixes

Known issues:

• PTS/PTX export temporary removed

• Clipping mask temporary removed

• 3D tags temporary removed

All of these functionalities will come soon, in a better shape!
