8.2.3 Annotation Layers

Annotations can be grouped in layers. The purpose of these layers is to make it easy to turn off
and on (make invisible or visible) groups of annotations. You might want to see all of the
annotations associated with a particular part of a scene without having the other annotations
clutter up the view.
To use this, first create an annotation layer by selecting Annotation Layers -> Create
Annotation Layer in the View menu. Next, select one or more annotations, either in the scene
tree or in a window. Once selected, choose Annotation Layers -> Add Annotation(s) to Layer
from the View menu or by right-clicking on the name of the annotation layer in the scene tree.
You can also add an annotation to a layer by right-clicking on the annotation in the scene tree
and selecting Add to Layer. You can remove individual annotations from a layer in a similar
manner.
Once an annotation layer is created, you can make the entire group invisible or visible by right-
clicking on the annotation layer name in the scene tree and selecting Show/Hide Annotation.
(You can show or hide any individual annotation in the same way.)

8.2.4 Save Window as Image

Often, after working with data in SceneVision, you will want to capture a particular viewpoint,
or a particular annotation – for use in a presentation or for printing. (For example, all of the
images in this document were captured from actual SceneVision sessions.)
To capture an image in a window, first make sure that the subwindow in the view area that you
want to capture is the active window (you may need to select the window). Then select Save
Window as Image from the File menu. You will get a standard Save dialog box where you can
specify the name of the file, the format of the image (e.g. bmp, jpg, etc.) and the location.
Once you've saved an image you can do anything with it you would with any image or photo
file. You can even insert it into a SceneVision scene file (using Insert File) or attach it to an
annotation.

8.2.5 Print

SceneVision offers a standard print function in the File menu and in the toolbar. It will print the
contents of the active window (the same content that would be saved as an image in the
previous section).

8.2.6 Create 3D Popup from Region

In addition to creating complete 3D models of a scene (described in section 11), SceneVision
provides the ability to identify a small region of a scan and turn it into a 3D model for viewing,
annotating, etc. This function works specifically with range data (RTPI files) – with or without
color – and with aligned image data.
