Area Target from Leica RTC360

[dkoester]

i have a scan from a plant and want to use it as an area target. my file is in the format *.e57. and im using the version 10.15.3 from the ATG

after a few seconds i get this error message:

does anyone know what to do with this message and how to fix it?

the person who created the file in the orignal scan tool does not know what the message could mean

thx

I have the same problem. When I try to import E57 data into the Area Target Generator, it ends up with the exact same error. I would also like to know where the error is. I am also using ATG version 10.15.3.

Hi @dkoester ,

so the issue what you reported I discus this with R&D Team and there was the first feedback:

On this particular one: they simply exported the scan in a wrong way from the Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 tool, hence the error. Partially, because our instructions on the Area Targets from Leica Scans | Vuforia Library  are somewhat outdated.
Just this week we do have a running investigation with the latest REGISTER 360 Plus - v 2023.2 to fix these instructions. 

there a meant instructions on the  Area Targets from Leica Scans  

So that this instruction should be updated soon

additionally :

The issue with the particular E57 export is, that it does NOT contain panoramic image data - which is necessary. Compare (left their file, right a correct looking E57 structure):

@MichalS  possibly you run in the same issue.
