Description of the "Data Preprocessing" View
E Measuring toolbar: Use this toolbar to set various ROIs for the measurement (see Chap. 3.16.4,
3.16.5 and 3.16.6).
F 3D-View toolbar: Use this toolbar to configure the orientation of the coordinate system in the 3D-
View (see Chap. 3.10).
G "Start measurement" button: Click on this button to perform a measuring operation, calculate the
measurement results and display the point cloud and measurement results of the currently se-
lected measuring program in the 3D-View.
H Status bar: Status and error messages are displayed in the status bar (see Chapter 8.1).

Input data: Use this selection field to select the input data for the program (see also Chap.
3.16.3).
-
Display: Select wether input data, output data or both is displayed in the 3D-View.
2 Rotation settings:
-
Select the axis of rotation about which you want the point cloud to rotate. The axis defines,
among other things, the plane used for projecting the points and for calculating the enclosing
rectangle (see above).
-
If you have selected the Z axis as the axis of rotation, you can additionally specify whether the
longitudinal side of the enclosing rectangle should be aligned in parallel with the X axis or the Y
axis using the parameter "Axis for alignment" (see above, section "2").
3 3D-View: The 3D-View shows the input point cloud (gray), the calculated box on the input point
cloud and the aligned point cloud (green).
