Problems with Topcon Scans in Recap 2.2+

We have some problems with our Topcon scans and couldn't figure out what it was and blamed the scanner, up until now.

 

With the GLS-2000 scans from Topcon you'll get 3 files. CL3, IJ and ALG. The CL3 is the scan file, but Recap understands automatically the data from two other files if it has the same name and is in the same folder.

 

In recap 2.2.0.25:

When I import the scan in Recap it somehow stretches all the points in a rhombic, but the coordinates are OK. See attachment 1. It also doesn't recognize the 'normal' information anymore and The content of the RealViews are blanc. see attachment 2. If I remove the ALG it works a bit better, but the scans lost their coordinates that we need in Infraworks 360 and for 'skip registration' in Recap. Recap Ultimate’s auto registration tool also doesn’t recognize the points, so I’ve stiched them manually. After that the plan view puts the middle of all scans on 0,0, but the 3D view and the RealView locations are shown on the right location. See right above attachment 3.

 

In Recap 2.2.1.1:

It loads nothing and the grid is shown vertical.

 

In recap 2.0.0.255:

One of my colleagues got an older version of his Recap version on his computer and it turned out as it should be. The Normal information is also more accurate. The pipe snapping tool also works again. Only the RealViews are a bit ugly, but better than from 2.2.0.25.

Hello Mitko, thanks for the reply. I can confirm that it started at the 2.2 update. I've tested up to 2.1.1.2 and they all worked fine.

Hi, 

They are working fine now?

If not is it possible to share one sample topcon scan with us?

Thank you,

Hello Mitko,

 

It works fine in Recap 2.1, but not in 2.2. Only I can't get my ultimate license activated in 2.1 (need pipe snapping) and the RealViews won't export to Recap 360. We would like to share the planviews and realviews publicly for the National Autdesk Experience we organize at that location next April the 21th. http://www.nae2016.nl/

 

I can send the scans through an A360 link in a PM. Where can I send it to?

Hi,

 

No. The problem isn’t solved but found a workaround by installing both Recap 2.1 free and Recap 2.2 ultimate. Also didn’t get any reply. This is the message I’ve sent:

 

 

Hello ....,

 

Vidanom (Community Manager) sent me your email to elaborate a problem with Topcon scans in Recap version 2.2+. See link [1]. Below are the download links to 3 of the scans. The IJ contains the information of the CL3 and the ALG contains the coordinates. So no registration is required. It all works fine up until the 2.2 update. Right now I’m using version 2.1.1.2 because of this. If you need more information or a contact person at Topcon I can get it for you. After I sent you this mail I’ll sent 2 invitations to Recap 360 with some viewing problems.
