To invert back- and front-facing points

Use the Point-Cloud tab > Display panel > Invert Back-Facing Points option to highlight the front-facing points of a point cloud.

Note: The Invert Back-Facing Points option is available only when creating inspections for CNC and Manual machines.

To highlight the front-facing points of a point cloud:

  1. In the inspection sequence, select the Point-Cloud item's entry.
  2. Unproject the point-cloud.
  3. Select Point-Cloud tab > Display panel > Highlight Back-Facing Points. The back-facing points are displayed in the Back-facing point colour specified in the Options dialog.

    The direction from which the cloud is scanned determines the front face of the point cloud.

  4. Click Point-Cloud tab > Display panel > Invert Back-Facing Points, to switch the colours. Click the button again to return to the original colour scheme.

To cancel highlighting, deselect Highlight Back-Facing Points.
