3D Measurement

(requires: 3D Measurement)

2D binary layers on a Z-serie can be connected to 3D objects. Spatial characteristics of these objects can be examined within the Measure > 3D Object Measurement window. This window allows you to create 3D binary objects, measure their features and export the results (e.g. to MS Excel). Which features are displayed in the columns can be determined using functions from the context menu over the measurement table.

See also Measurement Features.
