Export a TIN in XML Format
TINs created in Cyclone are easily exported out as a XML and recognized as a surface in AutoCAD in the Terrain Explorer.
Edit Properties
The Edit Properties is dialogue box that can change a multitude of features of modeled objects, lines, polylines and limit boxes in Cyclone.
Virtual Surveyor
Virtual Surveyor is an effective and quick method of digitizing points, lines and polygons from the point cloud.
Publishing TruViews in Cyclone
TruView is a free panoramic viewer that allows users to view the point cloud data and image from the scanner position or the scan data from defined camera views.
Cyclone Navigator
Cyclone Navigator is the table of contents for the Cyclone program. This menu is used to access and organize the point cloud data, manage tools and settings in the program and create blank databases to import raw data.
Cutplanes
Cutplanes are used in Cyclone to create horizontal and vertical slices through the point cloud, modeled objects, and TINs. Cutplanes can be configured for thickness, step interval, set on an object, set to the viewpoint or defined by the Reference Plane.
