General

The General options let you customize general options for Photo to Shape.

This page discusses:

Display Diagnostic

Reconstruction assistant
Displays the Reconstruction Assistant panel.
Reconstruction diagnostic
Displays a gap between the initial 2D point and the reconstructed 3D point.

Display Constraint

Reconstruction constraint
Displays symmetry, tangent and perpendicular constraints on the 2D geometry.
Image drawing color
Defines the color used to display the 2D geometry contours.

By default, the selected color is black.

Constraint color
Defines the color used to display constraint elements in 2D and 3D viewers.

By default, the selected color is blue.

Symmetry color
Defines the color used to display symmetry in 2D and 3D viewers.

By default, the selected color is yellow.

Can be constructed
Defines the color used to display 2D sketched elements that are already reconstructed in 3D.

By default, the selected color is green.

Diagnostic color
Defines the color used to display 2D sketched elements which are not reconstructed in 2D or 3D viewers.

By default, the selected color is red.

Proposal color
Defines the color used to display the possible selections when using the Element Matching and Symmetry Creation commands.

By default, the selected color is orange.

Image Display Mode on Board

Defines how the geometry is displayed:

  • Normal: Displays all the images with a normal opacity.
  • Low intensity: Lowers the opacity of all images so that sketched elements become more visible.

Board

Auto hide
Hides the Image Board panel during the reconstruction of the 3D model.

Warnings

Warning on image drop
Displays a panel providing information about camera properties during an image drag and drop.

Element Matching Command

Enables selection of multiple reference elements
Selects multiple references.

By default, this option is cleared.

Matching assistant
Activates the matching assistant tool.

By default, the option is selected.
