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
