3-4 Combine two or more objects
Use 3D Editor to combine objects into a single object.
With 3D Editor, you can open and edit not only Dr. PICZA data, but also general-use data such as DXF and STL.
For information about how to use 3D Editor, refer to the help screens or the manual for 3D Editor.
3-5 Change the view method
Dr.PICZA3 provides four types of view methods for objects.
You can choose from among Point Group, Wire Frame, Hide Lines, and Rendering to use the view that is best
suited to the task.
Point Group Only scanning points are shown.
Wire Frame This is used to confirm the general shape shown only with lines.
Hide Lines This hides lines that normally cannot be seen, making the wire frame easier to view.
Rendering This shows the scanned object in a form approximating an actual object.
3-6 Change the view during scanning
You can select any of the following three methods for viewing data during scanning.
Detail View A wire-frame view at the same level of detail as the wire-frame view after scanning
Simple View A view of only the wire frames parallel to the scanning direction
No View No view until after scanning ends
Displaying the scanning data while scanning is in progress lets you monitor the progress of scanning.
To minimize the amount of memory used during scanning, turn off data display while scanning is in progress.
1. From the [File] menu, click [Preferences...].
The [Preference] dialog box appears.
2. To view data on screen while scanning is in progress, select [Show data during scanning] to turn it on
3. When you want to monitor the progress of scanning but don't need a detailed view of the scanned shape, select
[Simple display] to turn it on.
