This dataset is featured in our video, OmniSurf3D Surface Editor Tool. When missing or errant data features are too big or too isolated to filter out, the Surface Editor Tool lets you selectively repair the data interactively. This data includes several sharp peaks and deep valleys that skew the real data. The video shows … Read more
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
