Volumes

Volumes are easily calculated in the Cyclone software. The three different volume calculations available are Enclosed Modeled Objects, TIN to a Plane, and TIN to TIN.

User Coordinate Systems (UCS)

The UCS tools are important for manipulating the point cloud. UCS can be Set to Up Direction, Set to an Object, Set from Points, Set to X, Y, Z Axes.

Unify vs. Merge

The Unify and Merge commands combine points into one cloud to improve performance of large point clouds. The point cloud may be decimated through the Unify command. Merge combines points but allows the individual clouds to be turned on and off.
