aligned or that create areas of noise.
All of the described tools allow, pressing the right button of the mouse, to shift the current selection area;
moreover, pressing the Esc key, it is possible to cancel the currently shown selection.
1.1.3.5 Rendering (pink)
These are the commands that modify the data rendering settings in the 3Dview window.
• / Turn on / Turn off scene light: activate / deactivate the scene light source;
• Color settings
: allows to select the color policy of the data visualized in the 3D view panel.
Texture color shows the color of the acquired object (if available); Assigned color applies a color that
has been randomly selected by the software (which can be changed through the project management
panel); Use uniform color applies a unique color (defined in the software settings) to all the data;
•
/
Select face / vertex attributes rendering (only for meshes)
: the first option associates a
uniform color to each triangle face that constitutes a mesh, while the second one diffuses the color
associated to each vertex, interpolating it for each triangle face of the mesh.
1.1.3.6 General (purple)
Collects a number of general purpose tools, such as view and data scaling:
• Frame all objects
: centers and modifies the dimension of the framed window to make it possible
to completely display all the currently selected data;
• Move view on barycenter
: moves the current visualization center to the calculated barycenter
of the currently selected data;
• Rotation centered on view position
: if active, the barycenter of the current visualization is set
as new rotation center;
• Select view area to frame: allows to select a specific area to frame in higher detail;
•
/ / / / /
Change view point
: allows to change the view point in the six
main directions related to the axis of the global reference system: front/back (projection with respect
to the X-Y plane), top/bottom (X-Z plane), left/right (Y-Z plane);
• Clone: creates a copy of the currently selected scan data;
• Move
: allows to apply a roto-translation of the currently selected data; the types of possible
movements are:
