(2022.1.0000) Advanced Import Options

Cyclone REGISTER 360 adds Cloud-to-Cloud to all links during import and for all links created in the Review and Optimize area. The options below helps the user by allowing or dis-allowing the use of Cloud-to-Cloud on selected bundles. Of course if the only constraint between two setups is a Cloud-to-Cloud, then the option to remove Cloud-to-Cloud is not allowed.

Several options for optimization are available under the context menu for a bundle:

Optimize with Targets only

The option allows for the bundle to be registered with targets only without cloud-to-cloud. After using this tool the overall bundle error will only show the target error as the cloud-to-cloud is not used but shown anyway to show how use of Cloud-to-Cloud effects the bundle.

This is exactly like disabling all Cloud-to-Cloud constraints in Cyclone REGISTER.

If even one link in the bundle has a Cloud-to-Cloud link only (no targets) then the overall bundle error will average the Cloud-to-Cloud links with the target links.

Optimize with Cloud-to-Cloud

This option will add Cloud-to-Cloud back to all links in the bundle if the Optimize with Targets Only command was used previously.

Run Cloud-to-Cloud on all links

This command is run on a bundle and is found in the context menu of any bundle. Running this command re-runs Cloud-to-Cloud on all existing links in the selected bundle.

The use case for this tool is for re-running Cloud-to-Cloud on all links after removing tress, cars and other noise from the point clouds using the fence delete tools from a bundle in Bundle view.

Optimization error help dialog

If optimization fails on a bundle, REGISTER 360 will now produce a list of links for investigation. The user can then inspect the links listed and either modify or remove them saving time for the bundle inspection process.

Workflow example:

Run optimize on a bundle by adding or removing links on a bundle.
If successful no dialog will appear.
If unsuccessful the following dialog will appear:

The dialog shows the link Number and which setups the link connects.
The user can now inspect each of the links listed and either delete or modify then re-try optimization.
