geomagic: clouds of points

[pamela]

Hello everyone, sorry if I insist, I am trying to learn geomagic for managing clouds of points obtained by laser scanning of an ancient church.I search for an instruction manual or a link (or a pdf if someone has it)... please contact me! !

Welcome to the forum.

First of all, I recommend you post messages in the correct forum, so you will be more likely to respond.
your message has been moved to this forum, if you provide more information (the type of software, use, etc.) you have more chances that someone can help you.

I am detecting with laser scanner a church and the goal is to get the model 3d.through geomagic I imported the files (puliti in cyclone) and joined the scanwords. once determined the meshatura phase I don't know how to smooth the tops of the triangles...and I don't know what else I could do with this software. So I needed an instruction manual. on the web I searched but I didn't find anything...if maybe someone better than me knows how I can do it. .

your question is related to reverse engineering (reverse modeling is perhaps the most suitable definition).
I also use geomagic for laser acquisitions and testing.
from the triangular data if you want to get a given cad... you have to model everything in manina.
I use pro/e for example because it has functions that lighten the work that would otherwise be very boring.
with geomagic I see hard, since it is completely missing the table (I think you eventually need it) and it is thought to build nurbs surfaces.
geomagic studio would never use it to make architectural modeling.

They also talked to me about rapidform... you know him?

The same speech is also valid for rapidform.
At the end of the 3d model, I think it is also necessary to put it on the table and I do not think that rapidform has a table system (or if it has it, I do not think it is minimally comparable to that of cad systems).
then you can also decide to model in rapidform or geomagic and export the 3d model in step or iges format ... and then it amounts it in a cad system to put everything on the table but, it seems to me a at least winding path.

Surely yes...but I have to do a thesis job and I have to follow these procedures...so once determined the triangular object what should I do? Do I have to import it to another program? or can you work it directly with geomagic? and if you like? You know?
Thank you!

the surfaces can be obtained directly in geomagic studio.
It is not something that explains in 5 minutes and with two lines of text.
manuals are issued by geomagic, after purchase of the license and attendance of a course.
I think your teachers at least one manual should have it or should have it for educational licenses that the university releases to students.

However, this discussion I'll let you move under the "reverse engineering" area, geomagic is not a cad for architecture.

moved, as required...

bè not necessarily...I found on the web the free trial version and its guides...thanks to the same
