Menu: Explorer / Scans
This tab shows all the different scans within source files present in the project. Each different file generate at least one independent scan that can be shown or hidden by checking or unchecking the box to the left of the file name. It’s also possible to change the color of a scan, which will be useful when viewing the point cloud in “Color by Scan” mode.
There is a toolbar at the top of the scans tab. The functions are:
| Icon | Description |
|---|---|
| Deletes any selected (checked) scan files in the scan list |
| Adds a file to the project. Only one file can be added at a time. |
| Updates the number of points per scan. This button will populate the column "Pts." |
| Automatic registration of selected scans |
| ... | Parameters for the automatic registration |
| Undo last registration |
Each scan can be displaced individually using a "translation/rotation" tool.
Click on the 
icon to open the translation/rotation interface for individual files. Add values for translation/rotation if needed and apply. It's possible to determine the translation values manually; click on "Pick 2 points" and click 2 points on the screen. If no pivot point is specified, the rotation will be made on the origin of the scan and the angles are in degrees.
Warning: The "translation/rotation" can’t be undone by the software, you would need to make the opposite transformation to undo any displacements.
