Use transformation file
In this mode, you need to specify a transformation file. The rotation angles and the
translation values are stored in this file.
Use given values
In this mode, the rotation angles and the translation values to be applied need to be
entered in the input fields.
Use viewing direction
In this mode, you can rotate the data sets in the 3D viewer before calling the function.
The data sets can be rotated in such a way that the viewing direction represents the
future positive Z axis. The X and Y axes will then be parallel to the monitor edges. During
execution of the function, a corresponding transformation matrix is calculated and
applied.
Transformation file
With this parameter, you determine the transformation file to be used. You can also determine
the file interactively in a file selection dialog by using the
...
button next to the file name. The
field is only active if the mode of operation is set to
Use transformation file
.
Rotation, Translation
In these fields, you can define the rotation angles and the translation values from which the
transformation matrix is generated. The fields are only active if the
Mode of operation
is set
to
Use given values
.
Note
The
symbol in the status bar indicates that an online transformation is active.
Please note that repeated execution of this function may lead to unexpected results!
11.1.2 Transform to Nominal Points
This wizard helps you to transform your data to the object’s coordinate system if nominal
points (e. g. from a CAD file) are available for the data set.
