4.4 Editing Raw Data
4.4.1 The Sweeps
During scanning your data appears on-screen as the Sweeps. You can
revert to this view at anytime during the surfacing process by clicking
on View/Sweeps or on the Sweeps icon in the toolbar.
4.4.2 The Sweeps List
You can view a log of all the sweeps in a scan by clicking on Edit/Sweeps
List.... This log allows you to view each sweep individually and to re-
move single sweeps from your scan if desired.
The Sweeps List dialog box (shown in Figure 17) contains a list item
for each sweep. The second column gives the number of points in the
sweep.
Figure 17: The Sweeps List dialog box.
To highlight a sweep (best viewed with the Solid option), click on it in the list. Hold
down Ctrl or Shift while clicking to select multiple sweeps. The color of the high-
lighted sweep(s) in the main window will be changed to the preview color. The ac-
tual display of the highlighted sweep(s) depends on the status of the Selected Sweep
Transparent check box in the Sweeps List dialog box. If unchecked, only those parts
of the sweep not concealed by other sweeps will be colored, as shown in Figure 18(a).
