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 Again Fog,

    Note that inside of the pointcloud colormap command you can select individual surfaces to colormap. This means you don't have to segment the cloud do inspect the profile.

    If you haven't had any training I would reach out to your local Hexagon office and get into the 201 class for scanning on CMM. It'll make your journey a LOT easier.

    Best.
    Doug.
