When the automatic fitting is finished:
Check all the curves of the model:
- Check profile and outline. The automatic adjustment may not be perfect. You can do the automatic
adjustment again choosing the number of control points you want (right click, automatic fitting, fit the whole
curve, choose the number of arcs). You can do it by hand as well. Check in particular the points and
tangents at each end, and then, the smoothness of the curves.
- Check the slices; the automatic fitting tries to place a control point right at the rail, but if the rail is not sharp
enough, or if
the scan data is not very clean, the control point can very well be at a wrong position. If so, you can clean
the guidelines and do an automatic fitting again. But the safest way is to place the control point right at the
rail by hand and adjust the slice, arc by arc. Do it for each slice.
DO NOT HESITATE TO DELETE THE SLICES THAT DO NOT LOOK NECESSARY; the less slices the
smoother (same with the control points).
Data Type Brd 2files: Two Text, G-Code or DXF Data File
- Choose the importation format "Brd 2files" and browse to open the two files you want to import (DXF, GCode, or text format). Click on the button "load".
- Check the box "Flip" if the second file (containing the top or the bottom data) is flipped compared with the
first one. Then you can shift it vertically using the box "Z shift".
