Colormap Model Viewer?

drago8813
I have an arm with an RS3 laser scanner that we use quite a bit. I don't like the reporting feature of the colormap so I've been taking multiple screenshots of a colormapped part from different views and sending those off as first articles. This works fine albeit time consuming so I am thinking there has to be an easier way to view and rotate the colormapped model.

Does anyone know of a 3d viewer I might be able to use in order to send the file off to the engineer and allow them to rotate the part however they want to instead of me taking screenshots of multiple views?

I am able to save any model in Pro-E as a U3d file and open it in Adobe and rotate it but I cannot save the actual colormapped model.

  • i usually do a couple of view sets and then alt>print screen and save them as jpg's. This has worked fine and haven't any complaints.

    I personally think a free program viewer similar to Metrologweb would be nice for very helpful for looking at color mapped cad models.


    Colin, I just tired your method. The color scale doesn't show up on the screen capture....am I missing something?


    I actually tried the same thing with the same result. Hexagon told me that some report editing is required in order to have the color scale show up at the same time.

    I'm not doing the exact same thing as alt>print screen because I have multiple screens so i use the snipping tool and save the views in a separate folder. I started using multiple viewsets and that speeds things up but I think that there is some real value in a customer or engineer being able to open the colormapped model and rotating or zooming in on features of interest. I know the pointcloud scanning feature is still relatively new but it's definitely a feature hexagon should think about incorporating.
