Feature Preferences - Limiting the Number of Points for Features
Limiting the Number of Points for Features
By limiting the number of points for features, you set RevWorks to automatically calculate and create a feature upon collecting the number of points required for the feature. Limiting the number of points for features is only applicable when collecting data in single point mode. If you are collecting data in scan point mode, this procedure does not apply.
For each feature, you must program the number of points required for RevWorks to automatically create the feature. You cannot set limits that are less than the minimum point requirements for a feature. For example, you must have at least two points to create a line. Limiting the number of points for each feature only automates part of the data collection process.
During data collection, you can enter a lesser number of points for features than the limit number that you set. In such case, enter the number of points you want for the feature, and press the appropriate digitizer completion button, or select from the RevWorks toolbar, or press the Return Key to create the feature. RevWorks averages the data you collected to calculate and create the best-fit feature.
