PC-DMIS displays the Portable Scanning
Widget toolbar in the Graphic Display window automatically when
you connect to a portable device and the active probe is a laser scanner.
When you are connected to a portable device, and your active probe is
a laser scanner, you can use the Portable Scanning
Widget button 
,
found on the Pointcloud, QuickCloud
and Mesh toolbars (View |
Toolbars ), to show and hide the Portable Scanning
Widget toolbar.
The toolbar options are:
Exclusion Plane button - Click this button to
display the Exclusion Plane dialog box which
allows you to measure and enter settings to exclude data while scanning.
You can also set the exclusion plane from the Laser
Data Collection Settings dialog box. For details, see "Laser
Data Collection Settings" in the PC-DMIS Laser documentation.
Profile list - This list allows you to select
a scanning profile. PC-DMIS comes with three pre-defined profiles (Standard
Resolution, Fine Resolution and Very Fine Resolution). You can also create
or edit profiles from the Laser Data Collection Settings
dialog box. For details, see "Laser
Data Collection Settings" in the PC-DMIS Laser documentation.
Delete last scan pass button - Click this button
to delete the last scan pass which was acquired. When using a Hexagon
Portable Absolute arm, you can also use the arm's left button to delete
the last scan pass.
Finalize Mesh button - Click this button to reduce
the pointcloud by removing overlapping data, stitch the scan passes, and
refine the resulting mesh display.
This may be a time-consuming operation based on the parameters you use.
Create Mesh button - Click this button to create
a mesh data object using the scanned data. You must first finalize
the mesh before you can create the mesh data object.
