#### Point Colormap COPOPER

Pointcloud Operator dialog box - Point Colormap Operator

This operation evaluates the deviations of the data points contained in a COP command compared to a CAD object. The deviations can be represented by colored dots, colored needles showing the actual deviations or the numerical value of the deviations. The plus and minus tolerance, the size of the dots, the scale to be used for the needles and the initial manual alignment need to be specified.

Applying the Point Colormap operation to a Pointcloud can be done by clicking the Pointcloud Point Color Map button from the Pointcloud toolbar or by selecting the Insert | Pointcloud | Point Colormap menu item.

Example of a Point Colormap Applied to the Entire Model

The Point Colormap Operator uses the following options:

Dots - Colored dots

Size - Size of the dots

Needles - The scaled deviation (using Scale value below) as a colored line segment normal to CAD

Scale - Scale value to be used for the needle representation

Text - The numerical value of the deviation

Upper tolerance- Upper tolerance value

Lower tolerance - Lower Tolerance value

Thickness - This allows you to add a thickness value to deviations on the colormap. This is useful if you want to add a material thickness to a CAD surface model.

Clicking Create inserts a COPOPER/POINT COLORMAP command into the Edit Window like the following examples:

COPOPER2 =COP/OPER,POINT COLORMAP,PLUS TOLERANCE=0.25,MINUS TOLERANCE=-0.25,THICKNESS=0

SHOW DOTS=NO,,SHOW NEEDLES=NO,SHOW LABELS=YES, SIZE=0
