Compare

Use 3D compare to display the deviation between the measured model and the reference model through the color map. Besides, you can also create comparison points on the color map.

Note

  • Before using the 3D compare function, please import the reference model and the measured model and align them.
  • After creating a compare object, you can view In Tol. (%) and Out Tol. (%) in the right Properties panel.

3D Compare

  1. Click 3D Compare to open the corresponding window.

  2. Select the reference data, the measured data to be aligned and an aligned object, and edit parameters (the upper & lower tolerances and the maximum & minimum values) and choose a ribbon template.

    Note

    • Besides, the parameters above can also be directly adjusted on the ribbon.
    • The tolerance range should be smaller than the difference between the maximum and minimum values, otherwise it will not take effect.
    • Additionally, if the absolute values of the upper tolerance and lower tolerance are the same, adjusting the upper tolerance will cause the lower tolerance to change synchronously; if the absolute values of the maximum and minimum values are the same, adjusting the maximum value will cause the minimum value to change synchronously.

  3. Click Preview to display the 3D color map in the scene and the ribbon in the right; then click Confirm to save the 3D compare object, which will be displayed in the compare module in the left-side tree view.

  4. (Optional) In the preview state, you can click on the 3D color map in the scene to create comparison points, or right-click on one 3D compare object in the tree view, click Edit Comparison Points, and click on the 3D color map to create; for the created comparison points, you can use left-button to drag or use Del to delete.

    Note

    The created comparison points can only be deleted in the preview state.

Ribbon

On the right-side ribbon, you can enter values by left-click on the input box or use stepper, so as to adjust the tolerance range and the maximum & minimum values; you can also drag up and down to adjust the tolerance range.

When adjusting values, the parameter value in the 3D Compare window and the 3D color map in the scene will be updated in real time.
