New features and enhancements

Refinement Links in TDX Import

Registration refinement links created in Perspective 2025.10 are included in the TDX export. Once imported to RealWorks, these refinement links will be present in the Adjust Registration tool.

Adjust Registration

Added the Registration Visual Check tool within Adjust Registration.

RCP Export “Force Z Up”

Added an option to Force Z Up when exporting structured RCP files.

Using Force Z Up will ensure scans are leveled according to the instrument compensator. This option can lead to distortions in the station-based imagery.

Disabling Force Z Up will retain the original station leveling and avoid station-based imagery distortions.

Autodesk AutoCAD 2025 Support

The Open AutoCAD and Send to AutoCAD tools are now supported for version 2025.

Autodesk Revit 2025 Support

The Open Revit and Send to Revit tools are now supported for version 2025.

Resolved issues

  • 3D Inspection: potential crash launching the 3D inspection tool.

  • Annotations: photos attached to annotations in Perspective were not imported to RealWorks.

  • Annotations: moving annotations could cause all to stack on each other visually after capturing a screen shot.

  • E57 Import: fixed import for some files.

  • Georeferencing: corrected an issue where target matching and transformation results were not consistent.

  • Mesh Creation: added an error message and auto deletion for corrupted meshes when opening project.

  • RCP export: removed the "High Quality Panorama" option due to a critical issue where the point cloud was exported to an incorrect location.

  • Security Vulnerability: fixed GHSA-rxg9-xrhp-64gj vulnerability linked to System.Drawing.Common dll.

  • Station View: clicking on a station triangle always takes you to station 1 when selected from the Examiner mode.

  • Target workflow: resolved application instability issues when using targets within the application.

  • TDX Export: TDF folder only contains TZF files when available or RWCX files when TZF files are not available.
