Announced at SPAR 2009, Leica Cyclone II TOPO 1.1 significantly increases office productivity for creating accurate topographic maps from laser scan data. In addition the software’s easy-to-learn interface, standard CAD techs can now create maps from laser scan data as fast or faster than making maps from survey data collected conventionally.
Cyclone II TOPO was introduced in January 2008 as standalone software that, for the first time, allowed everyday CAD techs to create topographic maps from laser scans with little or no special training. Specific skills in 3D or laser scanning were no longer needed.
Two new features have also been added for faster deliverable creation. First, Cyclone II TOPO’s breakthrough SmartPick capability to automatically find "lowest", "highest", or "ground" points has been expanded. With just a single command sequence, users can now apply this tool to an entire specified grid over a large area.
Cyclone II TOPO 1.1 can now be used in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese. Online movies are also available for demonstrating how to use key features at http://scansw.leica-geosystems.com/public/Topo/
