Project contents

Annotations: Distance, angles, annotation

Cameras: Plane. Spherical, perspective and cylindrical views. Calibrated images Press here to re-set the view Flythrough: trajectories for video Is possible to look for a file in Grid point cloud: cloud of point from scans Group: all type of files organized in a group Polylines: from edges, sections or draws the file group organization with the following syntax: Folder|.|File Name

Triangle meshes: mesh created or imported Unstructured Point Clouds: un-organized cloud of points

You can set up the navigation parameters opening the View Parameters Windows (CTRL+V): You can view and navigate according 3 projection views: 1) 2) 3) Perspective standard view style Orthographic Bubble view and rotating the mouse wheel (3) NB: You can dynamically change all the values selecting the value Navigation

Start to navigate in Perspective mode:

select a grid point cloud and load it

Start to navigate in Perspective mode: Navigation

select a grid point cloud and load it

To view the imported point cloud: - select the file (scan1) right button of the mouse - load model - the file name is in bold and the flag in checked - if the flag is un-checked the file is not visible but it is still keeping in the memory (scan2) To discharge the file from the memory: - select the file right button of the mouse - unload model (Dome_virtual_scan)

Orthographic view

From Perspective view is possible to move to Ortho (orthographic view)

Orthographic view

In the Orthographic view you can watch the object from a planar view (point of view very far)

In the Perspective view you can watch the object from a point of view

Rotation: left button (1) to rotate the model Pan: press mouse wheel (3)
rotation pivot point is automatically set pressing a valid point with the mouse Orthographic view: to move the mouse pressing the right button correspond to move in & out the plane of view; in order to zoom, you have to change the vertical size of your planar view point Orthographic view

Zoom: change the vertical size

Move in & out the plane of view: right button (1)

Movements: It is possible to set the navigation speed defining Pan scale (bigger the value, faster the navigation i.e. for large models) Perspective & Orthographic view

Movements: it is possible to change the rotation type, constraining the rotation according to a axis

Internal and external hyperlinks Each file in a Reconstructor project can have a hyperlink to an internal or external file. The link has to be crated with Reconstructor software. In the viewer you can only access the hyperlinks but not create new ones. To open a hyperlink select a file in the project windows and with the right button of the mouse select Open hyperlink file and then Open.

In case the selected file is linked to a grid you have can open it in 3D Bubble view A file can also link to an external file
