      05 - View settings in FARO Scene

      Explaining the general view settings in SCENE

      Explore
      Check the Automatically Open 3D View option under the Explore category. When you switch to explore category, a new 3D view is opened. You can uncheck this option if the 3D view takes a lot of time to load.

      Measurement Properties
      The Measurement Properties provides settings to set the displayed measurement distances for all views. The following options are available:
      • Overall Distance: This is the default setting. The overall distance measured between two points is displayed.
      • Horizontal Distance: The horizontal measurement of the point-to-point distance is displayed.
      • Vertical Distance: The vertical measurement of the point-to-point distance is displayed.


      The selected distance measurements will be shown in 3D view, quick view, and planar view. The 
      chosen distance value will be displayed in all new measurement objects. However, to change the displayed measurement distance for each individual measurement, use the Measurement Object Properties dialog.

      3D Views Settings
      The settings for the 3D view are separated into Display and Navigation settings. All these settings will be applied when a new 3D view is opened. These settings will not be applied to views which are already opened.
