54 - Measuring of reference plane

Projection on surfaces

The command Projector allows to position on a reference surface a rectangular grid of

points, a set of generic points previously imported or a generic drawing. First operation to

perform is measuring 3 points allowing to determine the plane on which it will be

projected the grid, the points or the drawing; then it’s possible to measure further

reference points that can be used to position correctly the elements to project. Positioning

of the grid, points or drawing can be made moving and rotating as you like the elements on the

reference plane. When positioning is completed it’s possible to select every point to project so that

Zoom3D determines automatically the correct position.

Measuring of reference plane

1. Measure first point of the reference plane

2. Measure second point of the reference plane

3. Measure third point of the reference plane

Select three not-aligned points defining in the best way possible the projection plane.

Measuring of the reference points by alignment

1. Measure reference points for alignment

2. Reference points are connected with lines

3. When all reference points for the alignment are measured, Press Accept.

Select subject to project

Select if you desire to project a regular grid or a drawing previously set on a job sheet. If you choose the

operation Regular grid it’s possible to select the type of grid and the distance between points; if you

choose the operation Job sheet it’s possible to select the job sheet to project from the list.

Alignment

1. The grid or the job sheet are visualized in the graphic window.

2. Select a point of the grid or of the job sheet: the distances from the first reference line and from the

first reference point are visualized; it’s possible to select another reference line or another

reference point.

Moving drawing

1. After selecting a point press the button Move.

2. Use the four buttons to move drawing in the corresponding direction; values of distance from

reference elements are updated.
