Traverse Adjustment
you dont think an RTC 360 can handle it?
I don’t think there should be any surprise if the cloud to cloud registration doesn’t work quite as smoothly as the salesman said it would.
Guys the op said he had distance errors no less than .05′. That is to much distance error for any set if you ask me. If your using 3 tripods for your traverse and getting distance errors anywhere close to that something is wrong. If not you may want to consider 3 sets of legs and manually turning every angle. Then I would expect distance errors to be no more than 0.01′. Mix in some uneven traverse legs and short angles you should still hit your closing point under 1.0′

0.05′ was his largest backsight distance error, not the least. Nevertheless I agree that is a big number.
Not clear on how turning angles by any means is going to improve the distance errors.
Whoops posted that before reading the rest.
Thanks for all your help guys. We just finished up the project and the scan data came in great. We were able to do cloud to cloud registration over 217 set up and came out on known control within 0.5H and 0.05V. Plenty good enough for what we were doing. Below is a link you can view of part of the project. Its a little intense but after you play with it for a bit you’ll get the hang of it. Thanks again!!

That is very cool.
I’m point cloud wrangling in Cyclone right now. The pan buttons are different to now I’m all confused. Like the double-click seek tool (took a few minutes to figure that out).
