Revision 2.2

Check.jpg NEW: PROXIMITY FILTERS for CLOUD Remove Duplicate Scanned Points

The FARO HD scanners have much increased point cloud densities compared to the older scanners. Because of the new HD capabilities, it's important for VTube to handle the point cloud more carefully by removing duplicate points during scanning.

The new Proximity Filter distances makes VTube more efficient by removing any point that is close to another point already scanned. The value is a linear distance in 3D space. There are values for cylinder scans, end point scans, arc scans, and split bend scans.

The values can be adjusted in the Separation Filter tab menu in Measure Setup.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: Improved Cut Plane Features

Moved "Measure Cut Plane" Button to Top

CUT PLANE has become more important as of the release of FARO's v6 HD blue laser scanner. The Cut Plane button has been moved to the top of the Measure Process menu.

Improved Cut Plane Offset Menu

The CUT PLANE OFFSET menu has been improved so that the offset value automatically receives FOCUS when this window is loaded.

Without clicking on the value, you can type the new value immediately, and then press the ENTER key to close the window (a new feature also).

Check.jpg REPAIR: Save Default Project State Feature

This version includes an important fix to a bug introduced accidentally in 2.1.x that could corrupt the default configuration file when operators saved new defaults.

Check.jpg NEW: Diameter Scanning - Automatic Point Reduction in Stripes

In previous versions VTube did not automatically reduce the point count in the stripes scanned for SINGLE DIAMETER measurements using the Measure Setup option for stripe point reduction like it does for when measuring the complete tube. The v6 scanner returns so many points in each stripe that it can bog down the VTube math engine without stripe point reduction.

This version solves that problem because single diameter scans will now reduce the point count in the stripe count based on the Measure Setup.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • Save Project now no longer displays the VTube Path Manager or Save Dialog when it already knows the project filename (listed in the project filename box in the upper left corner).
