Dual Arm Bravo and scanning issue...

Hello,

We have a dual arm Bravo with laser scan heads and we run PC-DMIS 2021.1 in imperial mode, not metric. The scanners work quite well from what we can tell with one major issue. When we take a subset (cleaned up to remove spill over and such, in PC-DMIS) of the point cloud we can't use it in any evaluation, more precisely, the subset of data doesn't even show up in the list of available features to analyze although the full set does.

The Hexagon rep seemed shocked when he saw it but have heard nothing since and that's been months ago, perhaps a year ago. Has anyone else run into this issue? Not sure if this is a imperial vs metric mode issue...I say that as we had another scanner issue in 2018R1 where we couldn't marry up the data between arms and it turned out that it worked in metric mode but not imperial mode.

This Bravo has been a bag of problems since we got it. Hexagon got most of the issues resolved, thank you Tim O! But there are a couple large issues that have not, scanning is one of them. Going on three years now.

  • Hey FOG,

    You don't mention what kind of evaluation you are looking for, but It sounds like you are trying to evaluate points separated from the main cloud... points without nominals. You'll need to compare the points to CAD by doing a point colormap, or construct a feature, etc. so that the points have nominals... Once you have a this, you'll see that the data or feature, is available for evaluation.

    If this is not what you are seeing let me know and I'll try and help if I can.
