Angle Measurement

Brief: This tool is applicable to point cloud data, raster data and model data, which calculates the angle of pitch between two points in 3D view and calculates the projection angle of three points on the horizontal plane in 2D view.

Usage

Click Point Cloud > Measurement > Angle

Steps

• 3D View:
  1. Select the reference point of angle measurement by left-clicking.
  2. Select the measurement point by double-clicking. The pitch angle between the reference point and the measurement point will be rendered in the scene and the measurement result is displayed in a label as follows.
     

• 2D View:

  1. Select the first point of angle measurement by left-clicking.
  2. Select the second point of angle measurement by left-clicking.

  3. Select the third point of angle measurement by double-clicking. The projection angle of the three points on the horizontal plane will be rendered in the scene and the measurement result is displayed in a label as follows.

     

     Click the right mouse button, three context menus will pop up. The menu "Back One Point" is used to go back to the previous step. The menu "Clear Measure" is used to clear the measurement result. The menu "Quit Measure" is used to exit the measure tool.

Note: This tool only works with point cloud data, raster data and model data. The "Back One Point" is only available before the measurement is stopped. The tool is available in the profile window too.
