Automatic scan of a generic surface
1. Select perimeter of the scan zone; the perimeter can be rectangular or it can be an irregular
polygon.
2. If perimeter is rectangular measure three of the four vertexes of the rectangle representing the
scan zone with the button .
3. If the perimeter is a polygon measure all vertexes defining the shape with the button . Press
Close to complete the polygon and proceed.
4. Set the scan distance; the scan distance is the distance between points that will be measured; the
scan distance it’s calculated as an average of the distances of points defining the scan zone by
Zoom3D.
5. Press Start to start the automatic scan. During the scan, bottom right, it’s visualized the distance of
every point by Zoom3D. The color of the measured points is assigned basing on the distance from
Zoom3D.
6. At the end of the scan it’s possible to obtain the triangle surface generated and to accept the result.
Press the button Surface:
3D plane
Creates a triangles 3D surface by the points of the scan considering an average
plane as reference for triangulation.
3D Surface
Creates a 3D surface following in the best way possible the shape defined by
the scan points.
Delete surface
Delete the current surface.
7. Press Accept per save results of the scan.
