I've noticed a new Panorama setting on the cloud processing tool (or maybe old, and I'm newly noticing). But it allows me to include the pano in the .e57 point cloud.
I was expecting that when I imported that .e57 into recap to create a .rcp I would then get mirror balls similar to what I see with Leica workflow or similar (as you can imagine I was excited about this prospect).
But when I downloaded my .e57 and then imported and indexed into Recap I can find the mirror balls or the panos.
So I'm wondering if anyone has been successful in getting a .rcp with panos from the embedded .e57 - or am I missing the purpose entirely and there's another functionality of this feature I'm not seeing.

Hello,
In IVION I'm trying to understand what the best way to generate Maps for outdoor areas - specifically where the topography varies significantly. Generally what I do is I create a building and floor for the area I'm trying to capture, then in site model I set the underside of my floor below the lowest point of my scan, and the highest point of the floor a few feet above my high point.
But I find that if the topography varies significantly then the map doesn't generate properly - generally missing large areas as though the map is only generating for points some distance above my bottom of floor.
so I guess my question is 2-fold;
1. Is there a better way of trying to capture outdoor spaces in IVION?
2. How does the map generator work - perhaps I can be smarter about setting my floor areas to suit the plan (Ie, does it generate to the mid-point - in which case maybe I should stretch my floor to be taller arbitrarily).
Thank-you,
Peter

Hi Ben,
I'm posting to request an update to your scenario.
Did you carry out the scan from a boat - and if so how were the results?
I curious because I've had similar scenarios a number of times with requests to scan from a hoist or boom lift but I've always declined because I assumed the lift itself would become the static object. It sounds like your scenario would be a great experiment.
Thanks,
Peter

thank-you, yes if you can convert this post to a feature request that would be great.
but in terms of additions no - just more control over default user permissions.

maybe something to consider for future, I think either universal customization for the admin user - or just defaulting measurement at the viewer level would be an advantage.
as a training it's another step I need to train my staff to initiate in every instance - because I can't possibly imagine a scenario where I don't want a viewer level permission to have access to that tool.
I'm not sure how other users feel about this - maybe I'm the minority.

Hi Menghui,
Yes I was referring to the alignment .xml.
Is that file no longer being used? Because I still like to work with indoor viewer on a local machine, then run the nv_cloudtransform command in terminal.
This workflow is fantastic with local site maker processing - so I don't have to download big .bundle files for archiving (I only need to keep the .nvd and the .xml) - also saves a ton of time as opposed to trying to download the .e57 through crop and download.
Maybe this is just a feature request now then - but it would be nice to bring that feature back, it saved me tons of time, bandwidth, and data storage!

Is it possible to change the default settings for the standard user groups in IVION?
I want to modify the default settings so that a user set to Viewer always has the measurement tool enabled - it only seems to work if I have the instance set to public. But if the instance is set to private then I have to manually update the group permissions in each instance separately.
So it would be nice if I could modify the default settings for viewer so that they have access to the measurement tool always. Just wondering if that's possible and I just can't find out where.
Thanks,
Peter

I'm trying to pull out the .xml file of a bundle in Ivion and I can't seem to be able to find it. We used to be able to download it on Indoor Viewer through dataset alignment (I believe).
Has that feature been removed?

Hi Nancy,
How does one use unmeasured ground control points with desktop - in that case we don't have an alignment anchor_poses.csv file?
Thanks,
Peter
