Menu: Analyze / Analyze surface
You can also use the “Color by surface” tool
available in the
"Oject tab
" of the explorer
. Right click on a "surface" and
select “Colorize points by distance”.
This tool will colorize surface points according to their distance to the selected surface. An existing surface must be selected
from the list and a “Max distance” must be entered. The “Execute” button will find all nearby points, calculate their distance with the surface and colorize them accordingly. A colorized point cloud will appear in a secondary window and the histogram in the “Range of colors” will be calculated.
A .PDF report can be created with this tool. The report will
include a title, a subtitle, a histogram and
a screenshot of the secondary window.
To customize the title and subtitle, click on
next to the “Report” button.
By clicking on “Report”
it will generate a .PDF file showing the histogram of point distribution and a screen capture of the secondary window
.
A downsample option has been added to reduce the number of points included in the calculation, effectively
decreasing processing time. The downsample
value suggests that only 1 point in the specified area
will be
kept for calculation.
