Reconstruction Section


	Create Point on Image Places points on the image or on curves. Click the image to place point elements on the image. For points on curves, the selected must be reconstructed in the 3D model beforehand. See About Point on Curve.
	Edge Snapping Draws curves that snap to the edge of the image. Click the points near the edge of the object and press Esc to validate the creation of the curve. See Drawing Curves.
	Manual Control Points Draws a curve through passing points. Click points of the object to define the path of the curve and press Esc to validate the creation of the curve. See Drawing Curves.
	Polylines Draws polylines. Click points to create the polyline and press Esc to validate the creation of the polyline. See Drawing Polylines.
	Front/Side Creation Defines the object contour from the front or side point of view. If no point of view is defined, the first selected image is identified as the front view. See Defining Point of Views.
	Element Matching See Flyout for Managing Matching Process.
	Symmetry Creation Defines symmetry between points. Click two symmetrical points. If existing, new symmetries are detected and highlighted. Select them for validation. See Defining Symmetry.
	Tangent Constraint Defines a tangent constraint between two curves. To define a tangent constraint, select two curves, click the arrow and, drag the manipulator to modify the tangent direction and tension. If the object is already reconstructed, the constraints can be defined on the 3D model. See Defining Tangent and Perpendicular Constraints.
	Perpendicular Constraint Defines a perpendicular constraint between two curves. To define a perpendicular constraint, select two curves. If the object is already reconstructed, the constraints can be defined on the 3D model. See Defining Tangent and Perpendicular Constraints.
	Planar Constraint Adds planar constraint between a set of elements. To define a planar constraint, click points, curves or surfaces on the 3D model. See Defining Planar Constraint.
	Display Constraints Displays or hides existing constraints. The tangent and perpendicular constraints can be displayed in the 2D geometry or in the reconstructed 3D model. See Defining Tangent and Perpendicular Constraints.
	Calibrate 3D Defines the dimension of the reconstructed 3D model. In the 3D model, select a point and then, an axe. The axe appears only if the position of the model has been defined beforehand. Select a second point and enter a new distance in the Length box. See Defining Dimension of 3D Models.
	Position the 3D Defines the position of the reconstructed 3D model. Select a point on the 3D model and then, click one of the orthogonal axes and a point. To align the position of the model along the reference axis, click Set as Origin in the validation panel. See Repositioning 3D Model.
	Review Reconstruction Places the image as background and modifies the camera position accordingly. The aim is to compare the 3D model with its 2D image. By default, the first image in the Image Gallery is selected as background. Zoom and translate does not change camera position. Rotation is not possible. See Reconstructing and Reviewing 3D Model.
	Display Diagnostic Displays reconstruction diagnostic information. Allow to display reconstruction diagnostic information.
	Display Assistant Displays the Reconstruction Assistant panel. The Reconstruction Assistant panel displays information on what needs to be done to achieve the reconstruction of the model. See About Assisting Tools for Reconstruction.

Flyout for Managing Matching Process


	Element Matching Defines corresponding elements between pictures. From the first image, select a line, a point, or face and then, select the matching element on the second image. If you have selected several elements in the first image, you need to keep the order of selection in the second image. See Defining Correspondences between Images.
	Curve Matching Defines corresponding curves between pictures. From the first image, select a curve (full or partial curve). Then select matched curve on other second images. Extremities of the 3D curve will need to be selected too if not done by the command. See Defining Correspondences Between Partial Curves.
	Remove Matching Deletes the correspondence between elements. Click two elements to delete the correspondence.
