GeoTol reporting scans oddly...

jeffreytwhitney
We are in the process of switching from legacy to GeoTol.
I'm updating an existing program showing a profile.
The old profile showed all of the hits.
Now that it's in GeoTol, it's just showing four hits from each scan. (There are three scans total being reported in a scan set.)
I don't understand why it looks like this.
When I turn REPORTGRAPH to 'ON', it shows all of my points, (Shown in picture. The top one is the reportgraph, the bottom is the analysis view.)
(Point of order: I haven't actually run the program yet. Will the points show up normally once there's data, perhaps??)

One other question. When I'm looking at the scan on the model, I'm seeing some of the hits have these little x lines through them.
(Shown in picture below). These seem to correspond to what's being reported.
What are these x's? What do they mean?

  • Just a guess but it looks like there is some wavyness to that surface being scanned. Just wondering if it has something to do with the alignment. For instance, if your A,B OR C datum is on the opposite side of that surface, and you aren't using a primary datum option for that plane, then you are comparing a best fit plane, line, point to a high point plane, line and point. When you use Geotol, this type of alignment automatically happens. So I guess I'm saying there is a chance your legacy alignment is not the same as your geotol alignment. Geotol would push that surface up farther, making some of the points disappear under the CAD surface. Hope that makes sense.

    They aren't X's, they look like a 3 point coordinate icon to define a 3d point in space. the "X" being the location and the line perpendicular to the X the vector
