USER INTERFACE

Undet Tool Box – user interface consists of four basic components:

UNDET Menu in AutoCAD environment (tool buttons or ribbon depends on which style of menu you prefer);

UNDET Palette;

Point Cloud Object – to display Point Clouds in drawing;

Active View Section Box – for interactive Point Cloud Object detailed part size and position control with grips and gizmo.

UNDET MENU IN AUTOCAD ENVIRONMENT

UNDET Menu in AutoCAD environment (tool buttons or ribbon depends on which style of menu you prefer) opens UNDET palette, changes 3D/2D work environment and set Point Cloud Density in Preview Mode.

POINT CLOUD TOOL BOX PALETTE

UNDET Palette gives you access to UNDET tools and controls, grouped into task-related tabs and panels. Use UNDET Palette to import, classify, manage, display and export Point Cloud Data Files.

QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR

Quick Access Toolbar displays frequently used UNDET tools. Place the Quick Access Toolbar either above or below the ribbon using the Customization button.

RIBBON

The ribbon displays task-based tools and controls. It is displayed by default when you open UNDET Palette, providing a compact menu of all of the tools necessary to create or modify your drawing. The ribbon is composed of a series of panels, which are organized into tabs labeled by task.

If you pull a panel off of a ribbon tab and move into the drawing area or onto another monitor, that panel floats where you placed it. The floating panel remains open until you return it to the ribbon, even if you switch ribbon tabs.

An arrow in the middle of a panel title indicates that you can slide out the panel to display additional tools and controls. Click on the title bar of an open panel to display the slideout panel.

By default, a slideout panel automatically closes when you click another panel. To keep a panel expanded, click the push pin in the bottom-left corner of the slideout panel.

You can minimize the ribbon with „Minimize to Panel buttons“ . The first button toggles between the full ribbon state, the default ribbon state, and the minimize ribbon state.

The second drop-down button allows you to select the minimize ribbon state. These are the four minimize ribbon states:

Minimize to Tabs: Minimizes the ribbon so that only tab titles are displayed.

Minimize to Panel Titles: Minimizes the ribbon so that only tab and panel titles are displayed.

Minimize to Panel Buttons: Minimizes the ribbon so that only tab titles and panel buttons are displayed.

Cycle Through All: Cycles through all four ribbon states in the order, full ribbon, minimize to panel buttons, minimize to panel titles, minimize to tabs.

MENU ON RIGHT MOUSE CLICK

Clicking the right mouse button on active view section, you will find Undet menu which contains these tools:

- UCS by Points (Selecting this option software will deduct the plane according to the selected points and assign UCS)

Scale – specifies the scale of imported Point Cloud Object.

Point count – the number of created points in the project.

Min Point – coordinates of lowest point in the Point Cloud.

Max Point – coordinates of highest point in the Point Cloud.

Intensity (min, max) – the range of color intensity of the Point Cloud.

Offset (min, max) – the difference between the origin of Project coordinate system and the origin of Original coordinate system.

You can also change some parameters of opened project here:

Coordinate system: Original – Coordinate System in which 3D measuring was done. Optimized for 3D modeling – Coordinate System, estimated by program for optimal performance. User – Custom coordinate system.

Max. Visible Points Count – this value show the maximum points, which can be visible in your active View section. If View section is too big and number of points exceeds the value, specified in this field, the Preview Mode will be turned on.

Limitation of project

One Windows user can open only one UNDET project at one time.

VIEW SECTIONS TAB

With UNDET View Sections Tab you can create, edit and manage View Sections, which you will need to investigate Point Cloud Objects and create project documentation from imported Point Cloud Data Files. Also you can manage Coloring Settings to achieve better performance of Point Cloud Object and to enhance visibility of Point Cloud details.

There are three lists, which will help you to organize your further work with Point Cloud Objects:

View Sections List.

Data Files in Active View Section List.

Logic Classes in Active View Section List.

View Section List shows and helps to manage all created View Sections.

Data Files in Active View Section List shows precisely those Point Cloud Data Files, which are only visible in Active View Section. In this List you can use the same manage tools as in Data Files tab’s List, where you can see and manage all imported in UNDET Project Point Cloud Data Files.

Logic Classes in Active View Section List shows precisely those created Logic Classes, which are only visible in Active View Section. In this List you can use the same manage tools as in Logic Classes tab’s List, where you can see and manage all created in UNDET Project Logic Classes.

Colored bar will be displayed next to the Data Files and Logic Classes in the Active View Section Lists showing points proportions in the Active View Section.

LOGIC CLASSES TAB

With UNDET Logic Classes Tab you can create, edit and assign Logic Classes into different groups, classify View Sections or parts of View Sections by Logic Classes, export to LAS, PSG and ASCII formats, using Logic Classes menu or directly in Logic Classes List.

Logic Classes List shows and helps to manage all created Logic Classes.

DATA FILES TAB

With UNDET Data Files Tab you can manage imported Point Cloud Data Files, group or remove them from the List, export to LAS, PSG and ASCII formats, using Data Files Tab menu or directly in Data Files List.

Data Files List shows and helps to manage all imported to UNDET Project Data Files.

STATUS BAR

View Modes

This indicator will help you to observe if all points of Point Cloud Object is visible at the moment.

Coloring Modes

Toggle between three indicators to achieve better performance of Point Cloud Object and to enhance visibility of Point Cloud details.

POINT CLOUD OBJECT AND ACTIVE VIEW SECTION BOX

Point Cloud Object represents imported points by Project type. This selection must be done while creating New Project which depends on your project, 3D scanner types and is tradeoff between visibility, performance and different projects tasks. In Preview Mode there can be visible maximum 1 500 000 points at once (AutoCAD unchangeable default setting).

Active View Section represents imported points in Alive Points Mode. There can be visible all imported points if points number does not exceed value, specified in Max. Visible Points Count field.

COMMAND REFERENCES

UNDET MENU IN AUTOCAD ENVIROMENT

Open ToolBox Opens UNDET Palette.

2D B&W Mode Turns drawing settings to 2D drawing mode. This mode is recommended to do 2D digitalization of raster images, which can be generated from Point

Cloud Objects in Active View Section, using Generate Image command. Point Clouds Objects in this mode appear in bicolor.

3D Color Mode Turns drawing settings to 3D drawing mode. This mode is recommended when you do modeling or digitalization, using directly Point Cloud Object or

created View Section. In this mode Point Cloud Objects appear with predefined colors.

Point Cloud Density The system variable value is a percentage of MAX_COUNT, which is the maximum number of points that can exist in a drawing, regardless of the number of Point Clouds attached to a single drawing. Value of MAX_COUNT depends on current view mode:

1. If it is not active view section, MAX_COUNT = 1 500 000 2. If it is active view section MAX_COUNT equal to value in Max. Visible Points Count field.

For example, if the system variable is set to 1, a maximum of 15,000 points are displayed at one time, even if there are multiple point clouds displayed on the screen. The 15,000 points are evenly distributed between the viewable point clouds.

PROJECT TAB

New Project Launches New Project Dialog Box, imports Point Clouds from ASCII, LAS, fls and PTS files to the new UNDET project, which manages point cloud data visibility and classification.
