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.

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).

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.

The new Surface Wireframe mode shows a wireframe on the surfaces of the models in VTube. Wireframes display when the transparency is completely OFF, so when the wireframe is turned ON, the model transparency is automatically switched OFF.
