SCAN STRIPS and color maps

Any takers?  Are there already threads covering this....provide a link part?  I can't believe no one knows this answer

I believe there may be threads related to Point color maps. Have you looked in the help documentation here?

I have not but I will now!  Thank you!

Know anything about the scan strips??

I just realized after I shared that help file with you, the first thing I would check is that show/hide color map section and try that.

Are the scan strips you're talking about the generated points from the laser scan? The ones that are by default a kind of bluish color, but start pink while scanning? I forget if colormap takes priority over those scans, I believe it does. You can always try to right click in graphics display window and hide all features. It's been a while since I did a laser scan colormap.

Yes, gut their default color is black and they're all over the part.  I figured out how to change them white, but that's about it

To clarify: they're black after scanning is complete

            SHOW DOTS=YES,DOT SIZE=0.08,SHOW NEEDLES=NO,SHOW LABELS=NO,
            SIZE=240,REF=COP1,,

Just did a test colormap on the Hexblock, and put the tolerances to 0, and it went from green to red. Have you tried creating new colormaps? I don't have time to do an actual laser scan, but I can find an old program and use the data to see if it's different.
