What’s New

This is a minor release of Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS, including several bug fixes that enhance the overall stability of key workflows.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where, after installing Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS (BLK Edition), new projects could not be created.

• Fixed an issue that caused Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS (BLK Edition) to terminate unexpectedly when importing a RAF file or connecting to the Project Storage folder that contains scanner data not supported by Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS (BLK Edition).

• Fixed an issue where panoramic images were not included in LGSx files without the presence of a WORKFLOW license.

• Fixed an issue where the Temp folder was not cleared after updating older projects.

Known Issues

Screen Resolution Issues

• Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS does not support display resolutions beyond 4K.

Graphics Card Issues

• Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS may not detect the dedicated graphics card on computers with multiple graphics cards. Users must manually set the dedicated card for use with Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS. It can be done in Windows Settings.

• Some graphics card anomalies can be caused by power management software. Please turn it off by setting the power management profile to High Performance.

Data Handling and Memory Issues

• Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS projects located on Network Attached Storage (NAS) drives are NOT supported.

• Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS can experience data corruption, project loading failures, or unexpected data loss if projects are created, stored, or relocated to cloud-synced drives (for example, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox), NAS, network drives, or shared folders. To ensure data integrity and optimal performance, projects should be stored on a local, internal drive.

If the user chooses to share, relocate, or back up Cyclone Register 360 PLUS project data to a network drive, NAS, or cloud-synced drive, the following workflow is recommended:

a. Using the Export option in the Project & Storage interface, export the project as a RAF file to a local drive.

b. Manually copy the exported RAF file to the desired network or cloud location.

• If memory issues arise, check that the virtual memory size is set to the same size as RAM. For more information, refer to the dedicated Troubleshooting page.

• Using Export to Separate Setups does not use the same level of temp space. Temp space is not generally a problem when exporting separate Setups.

• Files written to the temp folder at C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Local\Temp\Register360, will be deleted after the program closes. These files will NOT be deleted if the program freezes or crashes.

• When Setups are moved between SiteMaps, some of them may not appear in the Explorer panel. As a result, the number of Setups shown in the Project Explorer thumbnail may exceed those displayed in the Explorer panel. For a workaround, refer to the dedicated Troubleshooting page.

Compatibility Issues

• Some customers have reported that Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS stops running when using AMD Ryzen 7 processors.

Export Issues

• To publish a unified point cloud, ensure that the Create a point cloud during finalized registration option is selected to avoid incompatibility.

• In Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS 2023.1.0, structured exports, such as RCP, E57, PTX, and PTG, may include deleted points on a second export, despite settings to export only cleaned point clouds. A workaround is available to restore point cloud cleaning from version 2023.1.0:

  1. Create a shortcut to Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS on the desktop if one does not exist.

  2. Right-click the shortcut and select Properties.

  3. Append -support to the Target field entry, separated by a space as shown below:

d. Launch Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS via the shortcut.

e. Open a project that needs the cleaning restored.

f. Open the project requiring cleaning restoration.

g. In the Review & Optimize area, right-click SiteMap with the Bundle(s), and choose Restore Cleaning. Cleaning will be applied to all Bundles in the SiteMap.

h. Proceed to the Finalize step, then to the Report step, and generate a new Finalized Registration.

i. Export using the desired structured format.

• In rare cases, exporting structured data to RCP Setups with sub-sampling may result in some Setups being omitted from the final output. This occurs due to cloud editing where sub-sampling can reduce the points below the 500 x 500 minimum required by ReCap. Alternatively, it could be due to another limitation which can be worked around by either not using the sub-sampling, or separating the Setups onto multiple SiteMaps and exporting those SiteMaps separately. Make sure the data has Control applied for consistent coordinates between separate Finalized Registrations.

• When exporting panoramic images of Setups using the Pano images option from Publish Options on the Report tab, the generated CSV and TXT files both contain the same position and orientation information, instead of providing Setup poses in the CSV file and pano image poses in the TXT file as expected.

RTC360 Issues

• Importing RTC360 data into Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS cannot be completed successfully if RTC360 data contains non-ASCII characters.

BLK360 Issues

• When importing BLK360 data that includes GNSS information directly from the scanner into Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS, it fails to load a satellite map and does not zoom in on the approximate location indicated by the GPS information from the scanner.

• When importing BLK360 data that includes GNSS information directly from the scanner into Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS, the Select Coordinate System import option on the Properties panel is disabled. To activate the option, in the import area, either click a specific job or select or deselect any previously selected job.

BLK ARC Issues

• As of version 2024.0.1, importing BLK ARC data, which includes static scans and Cyclone FIELD 360 links, directly into Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS is not fully supported. This is because the image assets and static scans may not be fully imported. The recommended method for full data import is using BLK Data Manager 2025.0.1.

BLK2FLY Issues

• The Advanced Colorizer import option does not work for B2G files captured with BLK2FLY. When selected, the import behaves the same as if the option were not selected. Therefore, using this option for such datasets is not recommended.

Visual Anomalies

• After importing colourless scans with the enabled Auto B&W target option, thumbnails for the black-and-white targets appear invalid and display as blank or white after being extracted manually.

• When a level condition is applied to Unified and LGSx Setups, the level condition icon does not update to reflect this change. To verify the level condition, use the Setup’s context menu.

Unexpected Closures and Failures

• 30 GB of temp space is needed for every billion points exported to a single RCP cloud. Otherwise, Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS may become unresponsive or close unexpectedly.

• When attempting to assign an asset to a GeoTag, the operation silently fails if the asset is already attached to another GeoTag and the TXT file is empty.

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 announce 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.
