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.
