Importing a Photogrammetry refxml

[[Du...]]

I have an ATOS Template setup, recently we had our frame have photogrammetry. Is there somewhere i can read over the steps to import that ref frame points and align it to the current location of the scan?

Hi,

i was able to do that like this.

1. have a CAD model of that frame ( to be able to do alignment )
2. scan that frame with ref. points on that frame
3. do an alignment in which you will export data
4. export all ref. points ( it's a xml so you can easily remove unwanted ref. points )
5. now you can import that fram in setings.

All you have to do is correctly set temperature and material in export and import.

We have a REFXML but when we import it to our system, it is no where near our 0,0 on the 300mm plate. is there a way to align that REFXML to the frame CAD model in the ATOS project?

Hi Dustin,

I think easiest way would be this function:

this might also help:

The reference points are transformed together with the mesh, so depending on the alignment they might be not on the fixture when the part mesh is aligned to the CAD.
