2. Creating 3D Data
2-5 Saving and Exporting Data
You can take data obtained by scanning and creating polygon meshes and save it in a file format compatible with Dr.
PICZA3. You can also convert (export) data and save it in a file format allowing import into other programs.
Saving Data
Go to the [File] menu and click [Save As]. The data is saved in Dr. PICZA project format (with the file extension .pij).
In addition to working with saved files with Dr. PICZA3, you can edit them using 3D Editor, an editing program for 3D
data.
About Exportable Data
Scanning data is data for measuring points (scanning points) obtained by scanning.
Polygon-mesh data is data composed of new polygons created by estimating the proper shape of the scan object from the
scanning data.
Line-scan data and point scan data are measuring-point data newly obtained respectively by line scanning and point scanning.
However, the exportable file formats for each type of data are predetermined.
For detailed information, refer to the online help for Dr. PICZA3.
Exporting Data
When you want to take data obtained by scanning and make use it with a 3D CAD program or other such program, you
export the data.
