Deviation Analysis PropertyManager
Use the Deviation Analysis PropertyManager
to display deviations between the mesh and other entities created by referencing
the mesh. Colored mesh displays or colored spines show the deviation.
Hover over the deviation for specific deviation values. You can save a
detailed deviation report.
To measure mesh deviation:
Open a file with curves, surfaces, or meshes referencing
a mesh.
Click Deviation
Analysis (ScanTo3D toolbar) or Tools,
ScanTo3D, Deviation
Analysis.
Set the PropertyManager options.
Click .
Analysis Type
Surface to mesh deviation. A
colored display
on the mesh shows the deviation between the extracted surface and the
mesh. For each vertex in the mesh, the software calculates the closest
point normal to the surface.
Curve to mesh deviation. Colored spines
along the curve show the deviation between sample points on the curve
and the projected points on the mesh.
Mesh to mesh deviation. Make
an original mesh to use as a reference to create another working mesh.
Measure back to the original
mesh
to ensure the working mesh remains within tolerance.
Analysis Parameters
Mesh or sub-mesh . Select the mesh to which you are analyzing the deviation.
Surfaces , Curves , or Source
mesh or sub-mesh . Select the entities from which you are analyzing the deviation
to the selected Mesh or sub-mesh.
Sensitivity .
Sets the number of sample points used. For curves, it also controls the
number of spines displayed.
Upper bound .
Sets the upper deviation boundary.
Lower bound .
(not available for Curve to mesh deviation.)
Sets the lower deviation boundary.
Calculate. Displays the deviation
analysis.
Report. Saves a deviation analysis
report as a .txt
file.
Deviation Analysis
Set the colors used for the deviation analysis display. The software
plots the values between the upper and lower bounds in continuously changing
colors. Values above and below the bounds are plotted in a single color.
