Features Recognition and 3D Objects Creating

3DScan allows you to use features – geometric forms (planes and pipes) recognized in a point cloud. Once found, features are saved in the document along with the cloud.

When recognizing parametric geometry in point clouds, data about this geometry is stored in the same data store as the cloud itself (npc file) and can be used in nanoCAD without nanoCAD Point Clouds vertical application. Thus, for example, outside of nanoCAD Point Clouds it becomes possible to:

·         Display the features by specifying the Shape or Shape type cloud coloring in the View Mode dialog. As a rule, switching to this type of display is done automatically after recognizing features.

·         Snap to fit points of features during objects creating and editing. In this case, it is enough to enable smart snaps - a set of specialized snaps that allow you to work with a snap to geometry elements recognized on point clouds and not yet vectorized.

·         Work in the planes of the recognized geometry in the dynamic UCS mode;

nanoCAD Point Clouds allows for additional manipulations with forms:

·         Delete the recognized cloud forms (Deleting Forms command). For example, unnecessary or poorly recognized ones.

·         Create 3D objects based on features (Creating Objects by Forms command);

·         Export pipes to a file.
