Description
When this box is checked, then point results
are additionally stored with X, Y, Z coordi-
nates based on the local plane coordinate
system.
When this box is not checked, then points on
the plane are transformed into the global
coordinate system.
The point which has been selected as origin
point.
Enter local X coordinate of origin. The origin
is defined as the projection of the measured
point onto the calculated plane.
Enter local Z coordinate of origin. The origin
is defined as the projection of the measured
point onto the calculated plane.
Defines the direction of the Y axis.
Description
Point which has been selected as origin
point.
The fall line is the line of greatest slope. The
fall line is a curve following the steepest
slope. It is always orthogonal to the contour
lines. The gradient of the height determines
the fall line mathematically.
The origin point and another point on the
reference plane define the orientation.
