How to Generate an Accurate Mesh from Line-type Scan Data

By Rob Liebert • Aug 22nd, 2008 • Category: Success Blog, Tech Tips, XOR, XOS

When you create a mesh, you typically use the Mesh Buildup Wizard. If scan data is constituted by line-type point clouds, however, boundaries are not easy to maintain in their original shape while you generate the mesh.

If you manually triangulate using the 3D Triangulation command in the Addins menu, you will get better a result [...]



How to align a mesh to a coordinate system and/or to a CAD model

Objective:
The objective of this tutorial is to learn various alignment techniques. This involves 2 data set that are used for understandingthe following
1. How to align a mesh to desired co-ordinate system using reference geometries
2. How to align a mesh to desired co-ordinate system using already segmented region groups
3. How to align a mesh to a [...]



How to handle scan data which is far from the global origin

By Som Valliyappan • May 16th, 2008 • Category: Tech Tips, XOR, XOS

Problem
When you import long range scan data such as a building, a huge statue, a ship and so on, the origin of these data may be far from global origin of the application. Thus you may not normally work with these scan data in the application. One of problems is that you cannot create solid [...]
