e57 crash on import

Similar issues have been reported, but I did not find an exact match. I am trying to import ordered scans as e57, and RC crashes every time -> screenshot

The exact same data as PTX works fine, although sometimes it also crashes. Then however there are at least the native LSP files are present which I can then use. With the e57, the crash obviously occurs before the transformation, since there are no LSPs that I could use. Both have been created with Lupos3D (which I explicitly mention because it might be crucial to the problem), orientation, georeferencing and filtering. The scanner is a common Leica scanner, so I don’t think that is the issue.

I (or rather my colleague with the laser scanner) would prefer to use e57 though. Not just because the files are about half the size but also the processing time is magnitudes shorter.

Is it possible that this is a compatibility issue as it seems to have been the case in the past with e57? I could provide a sample file if that would help…

Hello Götz,

it would be very helpful if you could send us the file that is causing the problem.

In the previous version of RC, did you manage to import e57 files that were created with the same software from the same scanner?

Hi Zuzana,

no, it never worked. At least with 3008 and probably even before that.

I shall provide the link via your contact form.

Thank you!

I got your message with the link and downloaded the file, we will take a look at it. Thank you

Great, thanks a lot!

Hello Götz,

the e57 file you sent contains points, that are too close to the origin and have zero coordinates and this causes the crash. It is a bug on our side and will be fixed so that RC would handle it without crash. For now you can try to solve it by manually removing such points when exporting to e57.

Ah, interesting. I think that should be possible.

It sounds like it’s a somewhat improper behaviour by the other software…

Thanks a lot for the fast response!

Was this resolved? Latest version of RC crashes on each E57 import too!
