Automatic scan - 49
Plane: the surface to scan is measured basing on the defined distance interval; for
every point measured it’s visualized the distance from the reference plane. Also the
color of the points and of the next surface is determined by the distance of every point
from the plane.
Surface: the zone to scan is measured basing on the defined distance interval; if the
surface is not regular the same distance between points is not guaranteed. The color of
the points and of the next surface is determined by the distance referring to the
Zoom3D.
Reference height
Before starting the scan it’s possible to measure a point becoming the reference elevation:
1. Measure the point representing the reference elevation
2. Assign the corresponding elevation
The elevation of all next measured points will be referred to reference elevation.
Automatic scan of a plane
1. Select perimeter of the scan zone; 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 is considered on the calculated plane by points that have defined the perimeter of the
zone.
5. Press Start to start the automatic scan. During the scan, bottom right, it’s visualized the distance of
every point by the calculated scan plane. The color of the measured points is assigned basing on the
distance from the reference plane.
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:
