This is a sample of regular, household tissue paper. Compare the image above to the image of printer paper, also in this library: They look very similar, right? But if you look at the z-axes of both plots, the vertical scale of the tissue paper is almost 10 times larger. When you display basic height … Read more
This dataset shows a washer surface with a “ding” that is a certain leak path. To display this data appropriately, turn off data filling (Analysis > Pre-Processing > Missing Data Filling= None), then remove a plane (Analysis >Geometry/Form > Plane). This is an excellent dataset for working with morphological filters in OmniSurf3D. Choose Tools > … Read more
Metal ruler. In OmniSurf3D, display the Wavelength Content Graph. When you drag the crosshair across the tick marks the strong 0.5 mm period will produce a tall spike in the Wavelength Content graph (we should hope so, or this would not be a very good ruler!) OmniSurf3D Hint: hold down the ALT key while … Read more
Sometimes it can be fun to explore the surfaces of everyday items…such as this switch from a Roku remote control. The data includes an image overlay, which gives a more realistic view of the data. In OmniSurf3D you can toggle the overlay on by clicking the Camera toolbar button, and toggle it off by clicking … Read more
This data shows the grooves of a stereo, vinyl LP record. The z-axis (heights) in surface data are commonly exaggerated in order to show detail. In OmniSurf3D choose View > Make 1:1 Aspect Ratio to see a truer representation of the slope of the groove walls. The song, by the way, is from an Arthur … Read more
20-pound, uncoated, multi-purpose printer paper. Compare the image above to the image of tissue paper, also in this library: They look very similar, right? But if you look at the z-axes of both plots, the vertical scale of the tissue paper is almost 10 times larger.When you display basic height parameters such as Sa, the … Read more
