14. Saving, reading and exporting data
The
Session
group contains buttons used to manage scan data.
1. To save the session, click the
Save
button and select the path to the session
file. The service program saves the session data to a binary file (
rfs
).
2. To view the saved session or to continue measurements, unlock and click the
Load
button, and select the path to the required file.
3. To delete all measurements in the current session, unlock and click the
Clear
button. Be careful, deleted data cannot be recovered if it has not been saved
to a file.
4. To export the current measurement to a CSV file, click the
Export to CSV
button and select the path to the file.
5. To export the current measurement to an STL file, click the
Export to STL
button and select the path to the file. Note that the outer surface of the object
will be saved to the
_outer.stl
file and the inner surface will be saved to the
_inner.stl
file.
15. Using the reference model
The following models can be used as a reference:
1. models created in computer-aided design systems (for example, SolidWorks),
2. models obtained by scanning with this machine.
The reference model must be saved to an STL file.
15.1. Saving the current scan as a zero model
To save the current scan as a zero model, do the following:
1. In the Longitudinal Section window, set the
3D Display boundaries
(see
).
2. Save the selected area as a zero model by clicking the
Export to STL
button
(see
Saving, reading and exporting data
).
15.2. Loading a zero model
1. Perform a measurement or open a previously saved one.
2. Click the
Open
button in the
Select zero model
group, specify the file (STL
format), tick the
Zero Model
checkbox in the
Show
group.
3. In the
3D View
window, the zero model will be displayed in gray.
