Digitized Data Section: Primary Area

The primary area of the Digitized Data section provides commands for align, edit, transform clouds of points and meshes.

This page discusses:

Flyout for Aligning Clouds
Flyout for Performing Transformations on Clouds
Flyout for Creating Meshes
Flyout for Offsetting Meshes


	Align using the Robot See Flyout for Aligning Clouds.
	Translate See Flyout for Performing Transformations on Clouds.
	Filter Filters clouds of point, by hiding points. See Filtering a Cloud.
	Remove Removes points from a cloud of points or vertices/triangles from a mesh. See Removing Elements from a Cloud of Points.
	Mesh Creation See Flyout for Creating Meshes
	Mesh Preparation Checks the triangles and structure of meshes, then repairs or deletes defective elements. See Preparing Meshes.
	Flip Edges Reorganizes the edges of the triangles of meshes. See Flipping Edges.
	Mesh Offset See Flyout for Offsetting Meshes.
	Deviation Analysis Analyzes the deviation between reference objects and objects to measure. See Performing a Deviation Analysis.

Flyout for Aligning Clouds


	Fast Alignment Aligns clouds with reference elements (clouds, meshes, surfaces or points). See Using Fast Alignment.
	Align using the Robot Aligns cloud of points roughly, using the Robot. See Aligning using the Robot.
	Align by Best Fit Aligns clouds with reference elements (clouds, meshes, surfaces or points) by best fit alignment method. See Aligning by Best Fit.
	Align with Constraints Aligns clouds of points using a selection of constraints. See Aligning Clouds with Constraints.
	Align with RPS Aligns clouds of points using a selection of Reference Points System (RPS). See Aligning with RPS.
	Align using Spheres Uses sphere recognition to reposition clouds of points. See Aligning Clouds Using Spheres.
	Align with Previous Transformation Uses the last previously computed transformation to align clouds of points. See Aligning a Cloud Using the Previous Transformation.

Flyout for Performing Transformations on Clouds


	Translate Translates an element along a direction. See Translating Geometry.
	Rotate Rotates geometry around an axis. See Rotating Geometry.
	Symmetry Transforms geometry by applying a symmetry. See Performing a Symmetry on Geometry.
	Scaling Transforms geometry by scaling. See Transforming Geometry by Scaling.
	Affinity Transforms geometry by affinity. See Transforming Geometry by Affinity.
	Axis To Axis Transforms elements from an axis to another. See Transforming Elements from an Axis to Another.

Flyout for Creating Meshes


	Mesh Creation Creates a mesh from a cloud of points, or regenerates an existing mesh. See Creating a 3D Mesh.
	Tessellate Tessellates the selected surface with chosen sag and step. See Tessellating.

Flyout for Offsetting Meshes


	Mesh Offset Creates an offset of a mesh. See Offsetting the Mesh.
	Rough Offset Generates a rough offset of a mesh, with the same distance all over the mesh. See Creating a Rough Offset.
