Additional scanning

Once you scan a part & make a colormap, then want to add more points, how do you do it? Where do you position the cursor? Must you then make a new colormap or will it add to the existing one?

  • Scott,

    I don't want to hijack this thread, but this is the closest I have come in all my searches for a solution.

    I am pretty new to the laser scanning but have gotten far enough to know that I can only create one color map at a time. SO, how do I combine two COPs into a single COP so I can create that one colormap of the entire part? (COP1 is of part sitting on table, COP2 is of part upside down to get the features it was resting on when COP1 was created) I have been able to align each COP to the CAD model and EQUATE the two alignments and subsequently create a colormap for each COP individually. I have tried the COPOPER / Boolean /Unite on the two COPs, but with no apparent luck. Is there any other way to accomplish this that you know of? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong with the Unite command??
