Re: Unroll other shapes

I've been successful in getting the excavation unrolled. Thanks for your help. I'd like to export a high quality orthoimage image of the results, What's the best way to do this. Convert to a mesh and then I'm not sure after that.

Re: Unroll other shapes

Yes I can and that is the position that I had the point cloud in when I created the polyline. I've attached an image. The tool is now also grey out and not available I have selected it in the DB tree. The target in the image is on the bottom of the excavation. There are also several targets on the s...

Re: Unroll other shapes

I believe that the overlap is a reflection of the fact that the surface of the excavation not level. I created the polyline by tracing the surface. Is there a way to generate a polyline that would sit above the excavation units or maybe at the centre of the unit walls and be a consistent Z.

Re: Unroll other shapes

Hello

Thank you for the prior responses. I'm having difficulty with the sides of the unit overlapping at the bottom of the units. I'm creating one polyline at the top of the unit and unfolding it a distance of 1m. I've attached an image of the result. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Unroll other shapes

I can export the 3D model I created of the excavation as a laz file. Then I can create a polyline and unfold the cloud. How can I export the result. I wish to annotate the unfolded excavation walls using another piece of software and include it as an image in a .pdf

Thanks

Kate

Unroll other shapes

I work as an archaeologist and regularly dig holes 1m x 1m. I take a series of images of the walls of the hole and create a point cloud .obj. I then cut the obj into 4 parts representing the walls of the hole and manually create an unrolled version of the walls. Is it possible to use the Unroll tool...

viewing a .shp file

I would like to view a .shp file. The file has attribute data of x y and z. I have used the tools tab and export coordinated to SF but I can't see anything on the screen. I have tried to increase the point size but no joy. Any suggestions would be a great help.
