(2022.1.0000) BLK2GO Import options
Export directly to E57
Importing BLK2GO data into the Import area and then directly exporting to e57. This process saves time versus importing the data into Cyclone REGISTER 360, if the only requirement is a colorized e57 without panoramic images. This is a direct export to e57 with a colorized point cloud without WayPoints. The data IS NOT imported into Cyclone REGISTER 360.
Import a *.B2G file or connect to a BLK2GO scanner
If BLK2GO data is detected in the import area an option to export directly to e57 appears in the right side panel of the import area. Check the Export E57 to Folder check box and then click the import button.
An E57 file of the BLK2GO data will be written to the selected folder.

BLK2GO E57 Support
Due to the unstructured nature of BLK2GO data, E57 files created from the scanner will not be supported for import into Cyclone REGISTER 360 2021.0 or earlier. Users should save original B2G files for future use.
Import the data into REGISTER 360 without panoramic images or colorizing the point cloud.
Using this option will save import time as the point data is not colorized and the creation of Panoramic images is skipped.
In the Settings menu un-check the option BLK2GO: create WayPoints and colorize point cloud
