Cyclone Basics
Learning the basic commands and navigating Cyclone helps streamline workflows.
Importing RTC360 Data into Cyclone
Importing RTC360 Data into Cyclone covers transferring the data from the RTC360, file management, creating a blank database in Cyclone and import settings.
Volumes
Volumes are easily calculated in the Cyclone software. The three different volume calculations available are Enclosed Modeled Objects, TIN to a Plane, and TIN to TIN.
User Coordinate Systems (UCS)
The UCS tools are important for manipulating the point cloud. UCS can be Set to Up Direction, Set to an Object, Set from Points, Set to X, Y, Z Axes.
Unify vs. Merge
The Unify and Merge commands combine points into one cloud to improve performance of large point clouds. The point cloud may be decimated through the Unify command. Merge combines points but allows the individual clouds to be turned on and off.
TIN, Sample Grid, & Contours
Existing TINs can be re-sampled to reduce the number of triangles and create an evenly spaced grid of points or mesh over an irregular mesh.
