IP-S3: Basic Training - Creating CAD Primitives

• Within the Workspace section under Primitives → Right-click on the corresponding primitive to create and select:
   
  • Draw Point…
  • Draw Distance…
  • Draw Polyline…
  • Draw Polygon…
     
• Once selected, place cursor on the object to be measured / created, then left-click while holding down the Ctrl key to create.

• Within the Workspace section under Primitives → Right-click on Points and select Draw Point…
• In the Main View Window, place the cursor on the scan point desired, and then left-click while holding down the Ctrl key to create the CAD point primitive.  Repeat step for creating additional points. 
  • The software will create default point names like <Point-001>, <Point-002> and will increase for each measurement.  

•  Within the Workspace section under Primitives → Right-click on Distances and select Draw Distance…
• In the Main View Window, place the cursor on the scan point desired, and then left-click while holding down the Ctrl key to create the first point desired to measure, then repeat the same step for selecting the second point for the distance measurement. 
  • Horizontal (green), vertical (blue) and slope (red) distances are all indicated as reference

• Within the Workspace section under Primitives → Right-click on Polyline and select Draw Polyline…
• In the Main View Window, place the cursor on the scan point you want to draw a polyline, then left-click while holding down the Ctrl key to create the vertex of the polyline.  Repeat step for creating additional vertex points for the polyline.
• To confirm / end a polyline, right-click it while holding down the Ctrl key, or by pressing Esc.
• To close the polyline, press the C key.

• Within the Workspace section under Primitives → Right-click on Polygon and select Draw Polygon…
• In the Main View Window, place the cursor on the scan point you want to begin the polygon, then left-click while holding down the Ctrl key to create the next vertex of the polygon.  Repeat step for creating additional vertex points for the polygon.
• To confirm / end a polyline, right-click it while holding down the Ctrl key, or by pressing Esc

This function allows the user to measure a distance or create a CAD primitive without a scan point. 

• To use select View → Interpolate or click the icon on the tool bar seen in the diagram outlined in red

• Select the point from the point list or left click the point in the display screen while holding down the Ctrl key.  This will change the point will highlight to a blue color.
• By using the left mouse button, left-drag and move the point to a new position, let go of the left mouse and press the Esc key to deselect the point.
