This section is displayed automatically when the user selects one room in the project administration or by using the tab in the header. If the loaded room contains no elements the leveling process will be started. If the room contains the elements the modelling functions will be started.
Scan leveling
After loading scans without 3D elements the buttons for leveling appear automatically. The leveling compensates mismatches of the scanner alignment on-site. The leveling aligns the panorama horizontally. Several options are available:
The button (level the floor automatically) evaluates measurement points at the floor for automatic leveling. This option should be taken in to account when more than three measurement points are available and the height difference is not seriously.
The button (level the ceiling automatically) evaluates the measurement points at the ceiling and creates a ceiling plane.
The automatic function simplifies the leveling but can also cause issues. If an issue appears the following pop-up appears:
The default value for the leveling is set to 10 cm. All measurement point which are in the area of 10 cm are taken into account. The search area can be extended which requires a restart of the leveling process. In accuracy will appear if the search are is too large.
After the leveling a pop up window with the leveling results will appear.
In this cases the search area was set to 70 cm a unusual large search area. Nevertheless three measurement points were detected and a correction angle of -10.15° was set. This means that the scanner has a perpendicular deviation of 19.62°. This setup of the scanner is too crooked so that the automatic leveling can not be used.
Every leveling process can be restarted by clicking the button [New leveling]
The following pop-up appears:
As described in the pop-up all created planes will be deleted and the current modelling process is no longer available.
This pop-up shows an accurate automatic leveling . The number of considered measured points (31) is high. The correction angle of 0.06° indicates that the Scanner was positioned ideal.
Measurement points can be selected manually by double clicking. Measurement points are hightlighted in the panorama as green dots. The color of the selected dot is changed from green to red. Each selected do will be mentioned in the list “selected measurement spots”. For the initiation of the leveling three measurement spots are required. Additional spots are possible.
With the button [Level the wall manually]the leveling can be processed at a wall. It is mandatory that the wall is aligned perpendicular to the horizon and three laser measurement spots have to be selected which are located on the wall.
This option is recommend if no horizontal planes with at least three measurement spots are available.
For the leveling it is recommended to select three measurment spots which are as distanced as possible to each other and are not located on the same line. Afterwards the leveling can be initiated by clicking the button [Level the plane manually].The following pop-up appears:
