### Pointcloud Operations Steps Window

Selecting View | Other Window | Pointcloud Operations Steps or clicking the Pointcloud Operations Steps icon from Pointcloud toolbar, displays the Pointcloud Operations Steps window. This allows you to apply and review any changes that would occur as a result of any Pointcloud Operators before adding them to the part program.

Pointcloud Operator commands are added as steps to this window instead of the program if this window is open. Otherwise, COPOPER commands will be added directly to the part program. Operation steps are stored in the COP.

Pointcloud Operations Steps dialog box

When you select and deselect steps from the window, the statistical results are displayed at the bottom of the Pointcloud Operations Steps window. Information such as the number of visible points, the operator type and operator parameters are displayed. The display of the Pointcloud points is also altered in the Graphics Display window to reflect the change. In this way you are able to review the results of the reduced points as each Pointcloud operator is applied.

Docking and Moving the Window

By default, this window is docked to the right of the Edit window. You can click and drag its title bar to other areas of the screen. If you drag it to a screen edge, it will dock to the PC-DMIS application at that location. If you prefer a floating window, drag it out onto the Graphics Display window, and then press and hold CTRL as you drag the window where you want it.
