Point cloud scanning, visualisation, measurement,
mark up and data exchange
Powerful 3D Navigation and Visualisation
Cyclone BASIC lets users work efficiently with rich laser scan data sets and for
improved comprehension of point clouds, advanced visualisation modes allow
users to see “through” walls, apply shaded rendering, enhance edge display
and more. Additional visualisation tools such as layers and 3D Limit Boxes allow
users to efficiently focus on specific areas of laser scan and model data.

Users can smoothly fly through and around point clouds, as well as pan, zoom,
and rotate views. Cyclone’s Level of Detail graphics display engine provides
highly efficient 3D visualisation and manipulation of even the largest point
clouds and models.

mark up scan images with redline tools to effectively communicate with others.
Redline Manager allows users to handle multiple mark ups at once, including
providing appropriate view points for individual redlines.

Comprehensive Scanner Control Plus Versatile Field Survey Options

Leica Cyclone BASIC offers simple and advanced scanner control. Smart-Scan
Technology™ provides fully adjustable, horizontal and vertical scan density
control. Scripting allows different parts of a scene to be automatically scanned
at different scan densities. Traditional traverse methods are supported including
side shots. Traverse editor supports non-sequential station set ups and full
reconfiguring and management of traverse data in the field and office. Targets
are recognised and extracted and QA checked.
