Defines properties associated with the referenced point cloud.
If the point cloud does not support point cloud transformation, the software disables
the options related to transformation.
Point Cloud
Specifies a point cloud model type. For Leica GeoSystems Inc., the available model types are Cyclone and JetStream. For LFM Software Ltd, the available model type is LFM Software Ltd.
Server Name
Specifies a server name used to establish the connection for the point cloud model type. This is applicable for Jetstream model types only.
Point Cloud Source
Specifies the path or location of the point cloud model. Based on the Point Cloud model type, the appropriate point cloud specific dialogs display. For JetStream models, the Open JetStream Point Cloud and Select JetStream Project dialogs display. For Cyclone models, the Open ModelSpace View and Select ModelSpace View dialogs display. For LFM models, the Choose a file dialog displays.You can select either jetstream projects or model space views or LFM based files from the respective dialogs.
In the Open JetStream Point Cloud and Open ModelSpace View dialogs, the Coordinate Systems in Point Source, Coordinate Systems in Viewport, Distance Units,
and Number of units per meter options are not available even though some of these options appear enabled. You cannot
use these options while referencing the point cloud models.
-
You can register (attach) the point cloud models at the satellite location. The software replicates the data related to the point cloud model in the database from the host to the satellite. The software does not automatically copy file paths, point cloud source, and transformation details to and from the host and satellite locations. You can modify the file path for the point cloud models at the satellite location so that the point cloud files can be accessed from the local satellite folders.
-
You can only change the type of point cloud model (JetStream or Cyclone) in the Point Cloud Properties dialog. For example, if you have registered a JetStream project, you can only change it to another JetStream project. The same applies for Cyclone projects.
-
Copy the files to the satellite location to keep the point cloud data synchronized. Verify that the point cloud software and other related software are installed at the host and satellite locations.
-
The software does not synchronize changes made to and from the reference points, rotation of the points, and a target point at the host location with the points available at the satellite location.
Reference Point
Specifies easting, northing, and elevation of a point in the source reference model relative to the global coordinate system origin (0, 0, 0) of the active model. This point could be considered as the origin or anchor point of the reference model used to position and orient the reference model in the active model coordinate space. The easting, northing, and elevation of the reference point can be specified in any of the supported units.
Easting
Specifies the easting coordinate to position the reference point cloud model.
Northing
Specifies the northing coordinate to position the reference point cloud model.
Elevation
Specifies the elevation coordinate to position the reference point cloud model.
Point Cloud Model Transformation
Specifies the rotation angles, scale factor, and move vector that the software uses in the transformation. These values are related to the global coordinate system.
Rotation
Rotates the reference point cloud model. Rotation is calculated around the origin of the attached point cloud model (reference point). The software measures rotation in the clockwise direction from the North axis.
East Angle (deg)
Specifies the angle in degrees to rotate the reference point cloud model about the east axis of the active model.
North Angle (deg)
Specifies the angle in degrees to rotate the reference point cloud model about the north axis of the active model.
Up Angle (deg)
Specifies the angle in degrees to rotate the reference point cloud model about the up axis of the active model.
Target Point
Specifies the position of the reference point cloud model.
East Distance
Specifies the distance east to position the reference point cloud model.
North Distance
Specifies the distance north to position the reference point cloud model.
Up Distance
Specifies the up distance to position the reference point cloud model.
