What is *.LGS format? With this, Leica consolidates all formats into one singular file that everyone can consume and utilize. No more file format problems – everyone uses the same format with less compatibility issues. With this release there are other notable features below:
Below are some highlights for Cyclone, Cyclone REGISTER 360, CloudWorx for Autocad, CloudWorx for Revit, JetStream Viewer and JetStream Enterprise.
In addition, we have a new member of the CloudWorx Family – CloudWorx for BricsCad. BricsCAD is a growing alternative to AutoCAD. Learn more about BricsCAD here
We truly hope you enjoy these new releases and they bring productivity and efficiency enhancements to your daily work.
Cyclone
- Cyclone now supports data import and processing from the RTC360: Cyclone now fully supports data collected by the RTC360 laser scanner and Cyclone FIELD 360 activating the full power of their scanning solution to reduce processing time and increase accuracy.
- Cyclone supports the creation and consumption of the new *.LGS digital reality file format: Leica Cyclone now supports the publishing and consumption of LGS files, Leica Geosystems’ new universal HDS digital reality file. LGS files contain all project information for a single-file solution for downstream consumption in all Leica Geosystems HDS software. The LGS file is perfect for storage and transfer between all Leica Geosystems’ HDS software products. The LGSfile is a true single file, to simplify file sharing
- Cyclone has a new Visual Alignment enhancement: Visual Alignment has introduced a new process that automatically tries to align the scans imported into Visual Alignment.
- Cyclone now has an Ortho-image sections tool: This new tool creates an orthographic image section from a point cloud in the ModelSpace. The ortho-image section is then attached to a DXF file for easy loading into most CAD systems. Sections can be created by drawing a reference line through the point cloud or by X, Y or Z axis. The user may also create multiple sections and batch create ortho-images.
- Cyclone now supports thermal image data collected from the BLK360 within TruSpace views: The IR image captured on the BLK360 imaging scanner is now fully supported in the TruSpace of each imported setup with IR imagery.
- Cyclone REGISTER: The Registration workflow has been enhanced when using Cloud-to-Cloud constraints. A new column has been added that reads out the number of overlap points in cloud\mesh constraints (Cloud-to-Cloud constraints). Low overlap point numbers can mean that a constraint may not be valid.
Cyclone REGISTER 360
- Cyclone REGISTER 360 now offers full support of the RTC360 scanner and Cyclone FIELD 360 let users harness the power of their scanning solution to reduce processing time and increase accuracy
- Cyclone REGISTER 360 will conduct automated Registration from the scanner’s Visual Inertial System (VIS), or Cyclone FIELD 360 pre-registration links
- Cyclone REGISTER 360 leverages the RTC360’s GPS data to locate setups on a satellite map in the Import area
- Cyclone REGISTER 360 supports Double Scan cleaning. Cyclone REGISTER 360 compares the RTC360’s “double scans” and automatically filters out noise to save time cleaning and improve the accuracy of a project during import
- Cyclone REGISTER 360 supports the import of Cyclone FIELD 360 Tags and Assets as well as their viewing and publishing as GeoTags and Assets for downstream consumption. GeoTags and Assets are transferable downstream to TruView and JetStream product families for smarter data access.
- Cyclone REGISTER 360 fully supports HDR imagery panoramas. Take full advantage of the RTC360’s camera array for unparalleled image fidelity and use downstream in TruView and JetStream Users can access all HDR data thanks to an intuitive slider for viewing all exposures captured by both the RTC360 and the BLK360.
- Cyclone REGISTER 360 fully supports HDR for point clouds (supported in JetStream Viewer)o Leverage the camera array for improved point cloud visualization in both Cyclone REGISTER 360 and JetStream Viewer
- Cyclone REGISTER 360 supports the creation and consumption of the new *.LGS digital reality file format
- Features have been added to the TruSlicer tool which provide users with additional QA/QC abilities aswell as increase the users’ efficiency when working in the tool – you can now slice in X, Y and Z directions or pick the slice centre
CloudWorx for AutoCAD
- CloudWorx 6.4 for Autocad supports Autocad 2019 (Autocad, Civil3D, Map3D)
- Leica CloudWorx for Autocad (Pro and Basic versions) now supports the use of LGS files, LeicaGeosystems’ new universal HDS digital reality file
- TruSpace now supports GeoTags (when working with IMP datasets, datasets in JetStream Enterprise or LGS files published with Cyclone PUBLISHER Pro), allowing users to fully leverage all the capabilities of their Leica Geosystems scanning solutions. This includes Tags captured in Cyclone FIELD 360 that get published downstream as GeoTags and GeoTags created within Cyclone and Cyclone REGISTER 360. Assets attached to the GeoTag (such as documents, images, etc.) are also accessible from the GeoTag
- CloudWorx 6.4 for Autocad includes new template options and report enhancements to further improve the usability of FF/FL reports. Coloured elevation maps, section profiles, and labeled sample runs are now automatically included in the PDF report.
- CloudWorx 6.4 for AutoCAD includes an updated 1-click polyline tool. Upon your second click, the polyline will attempt to automatically grow in the specified direction. Additional straight line segments will be created sequentially. This tool will help users rapidly create line work from point clouds.
- CloudWorx 6.4 for AutoCAD now supports additional clash checking modes. Anti-Clash will compare the point cloud to your modeled objects to help you quickly and easily determine the location of missing installations in your captured data.
- CloudWorx 6.4 for AutoCAD now includes localized steel catalogs for Russia and China to expedite model creation for those users
CloudWorx for Revit
- CloudWorx 2.2 for Revit now offers a selection of tools to help align your point clouds with your model. The Align to Model tool simplifies even difficult model alignments by allowing users to identifying common points or manually move the model into position within the current viewport.
- CloudWorx 2.2 for Revit adds support for TruSpace in Revit 2018 and 2019. This intuitive panoramicviewing window lets users better “see” what the point cloud represents, and drive the point cloud visualization within the Revit view space. TruSpace also now supports image layers (when working with files published by Cyclone PUBLISHER Pro), allowing users to fully leverage all the capabilities of their Leica Geosystems scanning solutions including HDR and IR where available. HDR layers include an intuitive slider which allows users to adjust the exposure of images. BLK360 users can now query the temperature of a point when viewing an IR layer in TruSpace.
- CloudWorx 2.2 for Revit can now create Floor Flatness/Floor Levelness reports based on theASTM155 standard. Colored elevation maps and section profiles help you to easily identify problemareas. A veriety of template options with the option to include colored elevation maps, section profiles,and labled sample runs allows users to deliver professional-level results with just a few clicks.
- CloudWorx 2.2 for Revit can now generate ortho-images in GeoTIFF, PNG, JPEG, GIF, and BMP formats

- JetStream Viewer supports viewing Geotags as well as Assets. GeoTags created with Cyclone FIELD360, Cyclone REGISTER, and Cyclone REGISTER 360 can all be displayed along with any attached files or images. Other assets, including the Cyclone REGISTER 360 Registration Report PDF, can also be opened right from JetStream Viewer.
- JetStream Viewer now supports HDR point clouds (from the RTC360) as well as HDR image layers. The new Auto-Brightness setting will adjust the brightness of the image or point cloud as you navigate around the scene through areas of light and dark to give you the best possible view of your data
JetStream Enterprise
- Leica JetStream Enterprise now supports the use of LGS files, Leica Geosystems’ new universal HDS digital reality file. Users may now also export data from JetStream Enterprise as an LGS in addition to the standard JSV format if the data was originally published to JetStream Enterprise by a Cyclone PUBLISHER Pro license or imported as an LGS file.
- JetStream now supports GeoTags, Assets (including images, videos, and other file types), Site Maps and Layers (such as HDR and IR when present in the dataset), allowing users to fully leverage all the capabilities of their Leica Geo systems scanning solutions.
