About Cut Planes
Cut planes allow VTube-LASER to define a plane of a table or other surface in order to cut laser points from being used in measurements to VTube-LASER.
How to Create a Cut Plane
Cut planes are created with four measurements with the ball probe.
STEP 1In VTube-LASER click on Measure Process, then click on Measure Cut Plane. The Laser scanner will turn off automatically. |
|
STEP 2Move the probe to another place on table. The further away from the first point, the better for the math engine. |
|
|
STEP 3Move the probe to another place on table in a way that forms an approximate equilateral triangle. (It is best to not make the triangle a thin sliver triangle. |
|
|
STEP 4Move the probe anywhere above the table. This forms the up direction of the plane (also called the "normal" to the plane) |
|
STEP 3Select the correct ball probe then press OK. |
|
STEP 4Press the Close button in the FARO Arm Utilities window. |
|
STEP 5Observe that the new ball probe selection will appear in the Arm grid. |
