This is what happens when the big cheeses have a release date, but the product isn't ready.jamesworrell wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 11:41 pm Yep have looked at Revo ..
I guess I see all these rave reviews, the videos doing cloud-to-cloud auto align regos in 360 etc - and I just can't seem to make it work as easily as I had hoped.
I see other surveyors on Instagram showing them doing warehouses and steel trusses etc and I think "are you f#@#$ing mad?"
So I started wondering what am I doing wrong?
We have had some success, but that was with black and white targets up for example .. and then the little things start to creep in - it can't see C10 targets which was a real shame and a surprise, the early bugs in Cyclone cost us time, the downloader now is great to have .. so the "ecosystem" is improving - but given the thing was announced like 2 years ago, some of this stuff should have been well sorted .. like I tried to do a rego in Recap the other day, it can't import *.blk files yet - had to suck in to cyclone and did e57's out only to find Recap needed ptg .. take 2 .. every time I turn around I hit these little walls and it only adds to my frustration. Even thermal, HDR .. not working out of the box .. the experience was not up to the level I am used to from Leica to be brutal.
I am sure we will get there - but I had higher expectations.
Same thing happens in the first version of all software now. It is the Final Beta version not the final version. The final version that should be released is the Service Pack 1 (or SP2) They have us by the short-hairs. In lost time and money it makes up that difference between the next best thing.
I agree that the technology is AMAZING, you can't expect the same quality at that Price difference jump, but don't claim something it can't do when you start delivering it. It can't fully work as a quality scanning machine without Leica's software- plain and simple. The ReCAP gymnastics and performance doesn't live up to the potential of the hardware/data they are trying to load into it. The loss of confidence in the quality and service of the products that Leica puts out gets whittled down little by little, day by frustrating day.
