When setting up the start, direction, and end points of the scan, PC-DMIS allows you to see a graphical representation of the initial touch vector, the direction vector, and the vector that is normal to the boundary plane where the scan will stop.
These vectors are shown as blue, green and orange colored arrows in the Graphical Display area of your part.
