Working with 3DInspect
- Quality: With this parameter you determine the resolution of the 3D-View.
 low: A maximum of 64 x 64 points are displayed in the 3D-View. If the number of points in
the X and/or Y/T direction is larger, the number of points is reduced by average value com-
putation.
 normal: A maximum of 256 x 256 points are displayed in the 3D-View. If the number of
points in the X and/or Y/T direction is larger, the number of points is reduced by average
value computation.
 high: All points are displayed in the 3D-View. Where many points are involved, this display
method needs a high level of system resources.
Note: If the amount of used memory exceeds that of the available memory (see Chapter 3.7), the
software may accept user inputs only very slowly and error-free behavior is no longer guaranteed.
- Point size: With this parameter you specify the size of the points which are displayed in the
3D-View. This parameter is only active in case of using the "points" option for the "Profiles" parame-
ter.
- OpenGL mode: Select the OpenGL implementation that is used for displaying the 3D data.
 OpenGL ES: The display of the 3D data is based on DirectX technology.
 OpenGL desktop (standard): The 3D data are displayed using the vendor-specific driver of
the graphics card.
Note: Depending on your PC configuration, it is possible that the 3D data won't be displayed. In
this case change the option of the "OpenGL mode" parameter.
Note: When using the "OpenGL ES" mode, the labels of the axes are not available.
- Perspective: With this parameter you enable or disable the perspective of the 3D-View.
- Light source: With this parameter you define the light source:
 no light: Virtual light is deactivated.
 point light: When using a point light source, the light gets emitted from a single point in all
directions.
 directional light: When using a directional light source, the light propagates with parallel
rays of light in one direction.
-
Light intensity [%]: Adjust the light intensity of the virtual illumination of the 3D-View.
- X/Y/Z Coordinates: Specify the units for the coordinates in the 3D-View and in the individual meas-
uring programs and result views:
 automatic: Depending on the used sensor type, the unit is assigned automatically (re-
flectCONTROL: µm, surfaceCONTROL: mm).
 mm: Millimeter
 µm: Micrometer
Note: For the x and y axes in the 3D-View the „mm" unit is used always.
- X/Y (Preview/2D-View): Specify the unit for the x and y axes in the preview and 2D-View:
 mm: Millimeter

pixel
Confirm your settings with OK.
