Description
The Distance Measure tool allows the user to pass
two items with some geometry so to measure the distance. It then can take a
measurement of the points/measurable object between the two items and
come up with a distance between the two. This measurement can be
displayed within in the viewer or not.
When measure the distance between two line:
use the center point of line1 to line2 and the center point of line 2 to line 1
Inputs
CIFViewer
The CIFViewer is automatically inputted into
the CIFViewer position on the tool's inputs page. The measurement can be optionally
displayed on the viewer
Geometry1
Geometry2
Pass any tool with a set of geometry into the tools
input page. For example if the
user needs to know the difference between a Stripe and an IP Tool Correlation
within a sequence then they should pass these tools into the
Distance Measure tool's inputs page. When the tool is run the distance
between the measurements of the tools will be calculated.
Be sure that
the correct option from the dropdown menu has been chosen. This lets
the tool know what specifically to look for ie. points, polarity,
stripe, distance...
Parameters
Distance
Minimum Distance
Maximum Distance
DistanceX
DistanceY
DistanceZ
the output of the tool
Signed distances are from geometry 2 to geometry 1 ie x2-x1
RenderStyle
The display options for rendering the measurement on the viewer
ScaleFactor
any scaling to be applied to the measurement
VerifiedValue
If the train option is used this is used to determine the scale factor for the
measurement
VerifiedComponent
whether the dist or the x or y or z component are used to determine the scale factor
