Online Help Reconstructor 4.4

To open a 2D viewer to visualize and dimension 2D blueprints created in Reconstructor.

Navigation [Alt+1]

Pan the view by clicking the  left mouse button and releasing it when the desired view is achieved.

Zoom out

To decrease the blueprint zoom level.

Zoom in

To increase the blueprint zoom level.

Zoom to Fit

To zoom to fit the entire blueprint.

Zoom 1:1

To zoom to the blueprint pixel size.

Set the axes origin [Alt+LMB]

To define a picked point as origin of the axes of the displayed grid.

Reset the axes origin [Alt+RMB]

To reset the origin of the axes of the displayed grid to the left bottom corner of the orthophoto.

Selection [Alt+2]

Click on a item (e.g. a dimension) to add it to a multiple selection. Click on it once again to unselect it.

Click a point to start a selection rectangle, drag out a box then click to another point to complete the selection.

A different selection is due to a different direction by creating the rectangle:

• Left to Right: to select fully enclosed items
• Right to Left: to select partly enclosed items

Press Esc to cancel the rectangle

Double click or press Esc to deselect all items.

Press Del (Canc) or the command Delete to delete the selection.

Linear [Alt+3]

To add a linear dimension, X or Y aligned.

Click to pick the measure starting point.

Move the cursor to seek the desired position of the dimension and then click when you found it.

Hold the Alt key to axis-align the measure during the point selection.

Aligned [Alt+4]

To add a linear dimension, aligned to the distance between the ending points.

Click to pick the measure starting point and then click to the end point. Move the cursor to seek the desired position of the dimension and then click when you found it.

Hold the Alt key to axis-align the measure.

Angle [Alt+5]

To add a measure angle First click to pick the vertex of the angle measure, then click to pick the first side (a half-line will appear) and finally click to pick the second side. Move the cursor to seek the desired position of the dimension and then click when you found it.

Area [Alt+6]

To define a perimeter on the map and compute the area inside it.

Click to pick the first vertex.

Click to add polygon vertices until you complete your perimeter and then click  the first vertex again to close the area (that will be colored in red).

Move the cursor to seek the desired position of area's value annotation and then click when you found it.

During the picking point press Esc to delete the latest point.

Volume  [Alt+7]

Drawing a planar area on the blueprint with a guided polyline selection, the volume identified by projecting this area along a user-defined depth is computed.

Depth 

If the Depth computation is performed during orthophoto creation, a labeled point is added to the blueprint's measures by clicking on a chosen pixel in the image. The label indicates the value of the depth (or altitude) referred to the pixel position.

See also the Depth Grid in Orthophoto Viewer video tutorial.

Depth Grid 

If the Depth computation is performed during orthophoto creation, a labeled grid is added to the orthophoto's measures: the Grid spacing, the Sampling method ("Which point you want to extract from the 2D image?" "The lowest in altitude to create a DTM", for example) and the Sampling area radius (the average value is computed within the circle defined by a range of influence around the node) are set in the Depth Grid Parameters dialog

while the position of the grid is defined by clicking on a chosen pixel in the image.

The labels on the nodes of the grid indicate the values of the depth (or altitude) according to their position.

See also the Depth Grid in Orthophoto Viewer video tutorial.

Continue

If pressed after the Linear/Aligned/Angle commands, permits to add other dimensions, aligned to the latest one.

Delete

To delete the selection of objects made by the Selection tool.

Settings

To set the viewer settings and the properties of the 2D image.

Recreate

To regenerate the orthophoto with the currently visible point clouds. In case of X-Ray orthophotos, the system will ask you which clouds you want to include in the regeneration.

Origin

To set a new origin of the orthophoto by double left clicking on an orthophoto's pixel, setting the axes and depth origin. Double right click to reset axes and depth origin.

Here you can only change the origin of the axes or change both the origin of the axes and the origin of the depth. The second option will invalidate any existing depth measures.

Export

To export the blueprint (including all the customized dimensions) in different formats:
