Create Solid

Creating a Solid

To create a Solid from a Cloud, right-mouse click the Cloud in the Current Project tree and select Create Solid.

Tolerance: Helps remove outlier points. If the resulting surface is too spiky, adjust this value higher.

Precision: Uses tighter calculations for pre-processing. Will result in a tighter grid.

Range: If the mesh does not span over expected gap areas, raise this value higher. If the surface spans over unexpected areas, lower the value.

Tightness: Used for determining the density of the triangles. The higher the value, the smaller the triangles of the resulting solid.

If only the floor has been surveyed, users can create a 2D solid. Similarly if the Ceiling or Sides have been surveyed. Note: the Tightness value does not matter for this type of triangulation.

Click OK to create the solid. Once created, a View Solid dialog will display. Confirm the settings and click the Green Tick to view the new solid in a Scene.
The new Solid will be added under the Solids sub-menu in the Current Project tree.
