Scan Surface

Source file: scan-surface.htm

Use the scan surface tool to create a surface from a single scan, based on point connections made with the connection tools in the Scan group of the Position and Filter ribbon tab. This can be useful for modelling irregular shapes such as truck trays and loader buckets.

1. Using Connect or Smart Connect, connect the points in the scan you want the surface created from.

   Tip:  Because the smart connect, connect and disconnect tools act on point selections, you can edit connections manually if necessary.
   

2. On the Create ribbon tab, go to the Surface group and select Scan Surface.

   

3. Select the connected scan created with Connect or Smart connect to triangulate.

4. Click OK or Apply.

The surface is saved in the surfaces container by default. You can change the container in the Destination field.
