Leica iCON – Overview of Software Releases

The differential milling solution is no longer an add-on to “Cut & Fill” and “Roading” applications, but a new, stand-alone application.

Users can now create a new surface from point cloud data, apply boundaries, break lines, and more.

HxGN Smartnet PPP profiles enable an optimised workflow when using GNSS correction services.

Users can now switch faster between different applications directly from the map screen without the need to exit to Home Menu.

The IFC slope indicator simplifies the construction of multi-grade structures, such as a parking garage.

Efficient tasks and intuitive workflows with new iCON screen layout.

Jobs can be now created in Leica ConX and seamlessly imported to iCON field, improving data management and user experience.

Checks App now supports complex structures, especially with curved or multiple curved elements.

New Move and Search Wizard offers a real-time feedback on the sensor's vertical angle, speeding up search.

Introduced improvements to the code handling, such as making the description visible in the code group preview and creation screen.

New feature that provides seamless automation, sequentially assigning codes to points.

Unlock a new dimension of visual analysis within the Volumes and Cut&Fill applications with the new "Grade Checker" tool.

New feature that allows you to create trench design models, directly on site.

With the new Inherit Code tool in the Stakeout application, you can automatically transfer codes and attributes from reference to stakeout points.

Introducing new touch screen modes for the Leica iCON CC170 and the Hibernation mode for all iCON controllers.

The Dual Slopes tool in Volumes application, is designed to simplify surface generation, along the X and/or Y axis of a line.

New visibility modes in iCON field for efficient IFC data management & simplified decision-making.

iCON field software fully integrates with HxGN GeoCloud Drive for streamlined data sync and collaboration.

iCON Formwork Deck mode auto-resumes after level disruptions, boosting workflow efficiency.

Enhanced continuous prism tracking for uninterrupted work.

Enhanced Leica AP20 AutoPole with Tilt for faster setup verification & improved efficiency.

We introduce the possibility to define surface inner boundaries and remove them from the surface you want to measure.

Automated workflow that allows the user to stakeout out the cross section faster by moving to the point of interest.

The auto-snap mode increases the speed by creating temporary points that can be staked out on the fly. 

The bucket calibration is now done easily in the iCON site excavator application, using a simple wizard.

The auto scan point size option automatically increases the scan point size for better data visualization.

Coordinate-based setup methods now allow you also to select IFC elements.

The AP20 tilt status indicator gives the user information and confidence on the tilt initialisation stability.

With iCON field v7.8, we improved selection tools to speed up getting to the required data quicker.

Select the points of interest directly from CAD and IFC elements without the requirement of creating them beforehand.

We upgraded our integrations to work with the latest APIs from various providers.

We updated the keyboard layout to include the number keys in the main keyboard.

Mapped colours are now supported in iCON. 

A new viewing option to change the size of a point cloud point to small, medium or large allows better visualisation of point cloud data.

iCON field software now supports US survey inches.

Points from a polyline can be deleted without deleting the whole polyline.

With the iCON build 7.5 update, the Stake to Elevation option for Layout Points/Lines and Objects has been enhanced with the autostake option.

With iCON field 7.5, we introduced a new search option, “Wait & Lock,” for the iCON iCR80 and iCON iCR80s sensors with a Dynamic Lock License.

With iCON field 7.5, we now include the graphic option which indicates how good the setup and optimum working area are.

Simplified elevation calculations where the height element is above sea level. 

Now it is possible to break polylines into line segments or several smaller polylines by using the new tool “Break Polylines” within the Draw application.

In order to stakeout contour lines, a new tool called “Contour Lines” has been introduced in Stakeout application.

With the version 7.5, the iCON field software can now be used with the newly introduced Leica iCON CC200 field controller.

It is now possible to import and export point clouds from HeXML.

Users often don't know what units were used when importing a design file. The units from CAD files are now automatically recognised.

With the iCON field 7.0, we now have a dynamic point and line selection available. Watch the video to learn how this new feature increases the speed of your stakeout routine.

Never miss a software update again! With the iCON field version 7.0, you will be automatically notified about all software releases.

Within the MEP and HVAC sectors, auto staking is often used as a primary function. With the iCON field 7.0, the last selection of points is remembered.

Explore the usefulness of QR code scanning on prefabricated objects not only in offsite construction.

The default search setting is enhanced to automatically perform a cube search and then a power search to find your target. Get back to work as quickly as possible.

We are on a mission to overcome the challenges you face daily on a construction site. Enhance your workflows with the AP20.

Verification with Point Cloud now includes an automated filter to help remove unwanted data. Speed up your verification workflow.
