Description

The Geo Tool Transform Tool allows the user to change the calibration of the geometry within a tool.

Using the Geo Tool Transform Tool

To use this tool drag and drop the tool from its location into the sequence.
Right-click the tool and select "edit". This will open the tools inputs page.

Inputs

Drag and drop a tool that contains geometric data (any type of geometry) into the "Geometry" box that is located within the tool's inputs page.
Use the drop down menu located on the right side of the inputs page to select the geometry that are to be changed.
Next the user must place in the "Calibration" box the new calibrations for the geometry. The user will do this by selecting the Calibration Collection tool from the ROTMain (Follow the directions for the Calibration Collection tool to submit the calibrations. The user may use any of the calibration tools but the information needs to be stored into and come from the Calibration Collection tool).
Next enter into the tool's parameters page.

Parameters

The user may select different options within the parameters page.
Replicate: if this box is checked to tool will make a copy of the geometry and make the changes to the copy. If the box is left unchecked it will make these changes to the original geometry.
Revert: if this box is checked the tool will make the changes in a reverse order, if left unchecked the changes will be made in a forward manner. For example if the user has a linear piece of geometry and wants to make a 10 mm change to that geometry the user can make the decision to the direction of that change. If the starting point is at 10mm and we add 10 mm without checking the revert box the new point will be at 20mm, if the revert box was checked then the new point would be at 0mm.
Transformed Item: This is the portion of the tool that will display if the changes were made. If the changes were made and the tool has been running this box will contain "?????".

Once the parameters and Inputs are set within the tool select "Apply" and run the tool.
