Explore Toolbar

1238888

The Explore features allow analyzing a scan in different views. The buttons you see in the Explore toolbar depend on the kind of view that is currently selected, i.e. quick view, planar view or 3D view. Several buttons include more than one function and are marked with a little arrow beneath the icon. To check those functions, click the triangle icon and a dropdown menu will open. Some of these functions might be grayed because they do not work with a certain view. As soon as you select a function out of a dropdown menu, its icon will be shown in the toolbar.

If you want to mark points in a 360° in the quick view, a magnifier is displayed that helps you identify a 3D point.

Buttons for Quick View and Planar View

• Color Mode (only quick view and planar view)
  This button provides an option to easily switch between color and gray (intensity) mode of a scan. Click Color Mode to reload the scan in the color mode or gray (intensity) mode. If more than one view of this scan is opened, all views are updated and the scan data is visualized in the selected mode. If the color mode is selected and the scan contains only color or gray mode views, a warning is displayed. This button is now also available in the interactive registration quick view because detecting spheres is more accurate in color mode.
