Connect partial polygons
Select this checkbox to connect cross section segments or point cloud segments of several data
sets to a closed polyline. With
Maximum distance of source points
, you specify the point
distance on the polyline to be created. Please enter a value that is greater than or equal to the
point distance of the original data.
Sort and connect
Select this checkbox to sort the individual partial cross sections (scans) in connected polygons
and to fill gaps between partial cross sections. This option is only available if the
Connect
partial polygons
checkbox is selected. The
Maximum allowed gap
parameter defines the
distance in mm up to which gaps between consecutive partial scans will be connected by a
straight line. Please note that no new points are generated on these connections, but that the
last point of the first scan is followed by the first point of the next scan.
Reduction by aspect ratio
Select this checkbox to reduce the point data of the cross section segments based on the
aspect ratio.
The reduction by aspect ratio analyzes the distance between the point before and the point
after the current point, as well as the distance from the current point to the line connecting
the predecessor and successor points (
Maximum tolerance
). A point is treated in the following
way (and in the following order):
Distance between predecessor and successor less than
Minimum point distance
:
Remove point
Distance predecessor - successor greater than
Minimum point distance
:
Keep point
Maximum tolerance
less than allowed
Remove point
Maximum tolerance
greater than allowed
Keep point
