Cylinders

Menu: Explorer / Objects / Cylinders

Cylinders can be generated either individually from the toolbar (see below), either with the picking cylinders tool (Menu: Survey / Pick cylinders) or with the cylinder batch detection tool (Menu: Analyze / Cylinders). Any detected cylinders will appear in the objects tab of the explorer under the type cylinders.

A few options are available in the cylinders' toolbar - see their description below:

Icon	Description
	Deletes all selected cylinders
	Adds a cylinder at a time; the user must click on a cylindrical object on the screen
	Invites the user to click on a cylinder to be identified on screen; the cylinder in question will be highlighted in the list
	Filters the list of cylinders to show only horizontal, vertical cylinders with a specific name.
	Exports the selected cylinders to DXF, shapefile, MapInfo, GeoJSON or KML format
	Add COGO points to selected cylenders to the database

Each object can be expanded to display additional information:

Center XY: The XY center is the planimetric center of the cylinder. This coordinate was detected and cannot be changed afterwards.
Center Z: The Z center is the elevation of the cylinder base. If the elevation detected needs to be changed, it is possible to repick this point by clicking on and picking an elevation on the screen.
Direction: The direction of the cylinder is displayed here. The direction may be repicked by clicking on as well as on the high point of the cylinder on the screen. The direction will then be modified.
Height: The height of the cylinder may be repicked by clicking on as well as on the high point of the cylinder on the screen.
Radius: This value of the radius of the cylinder can be modified by entering a new value in the field.
Angle: The angle of the cylinder is displayed here.
