To Apply a Threshold Colour

Threshold colour highlights data above or below a specified intensity, range or height. It can be used to highlight a specific change that is of interest. For example, data above or below a specific elevation can be coloured.

  1. Select the object or data to be coloured.

  2. On the Home ribbon tab navigate to the Colour group and select Threshold.

  3. Select the property to Colour by (Intensity, Range or Height).

  4. Enter a Value; absolute or Percentile. If a single scan is selected, the Value field is automatically completed with a value denoting the 50th Percentile.

    • The Value option displays data above the entered range in one colour and below in another. The Value automatically displayed is equal to the Percentile.
    • When Percentile is selected, the percentage of data points above and below the selected percentage is displayed. For example, the image below has Range selected with a Percentile of 50. It shows that 50% of the scan points (in green) are very close to the scan origin point.
  5. Choose to Colour above or Colour below (or both) and click in the colour fields to select the colours to use.

    Note:  Only the visible points are coloured. If the scan has been filtered, the invisible points will remain unchanged. Select Filter > Show All to re display filtered points.
