Location from Drawing and Reality

With Location from Drawing and Reality, Flexijet may resume a location by selecting points in a drawing and measuring those points in reality.

!This function may not produce results as accurate as the 3D locations repositioning function, because the points used for repositioning may not have been measured as accurately as location points! Always recommend using 3D Locations to reposition the Flexijet

*When using this function, be sure to select the actual measurement points, which will reflect the 3D location of the points. Points that have been measured on a plane do not contain the original 3D data

To use this function:

1. Select the ‘Home’ or project folder.
   

2. From the ‘View’ tab, select ‘Show Measurement points’ to show the actual measured points in 3D space.
   

3. On the Flexijet tab, click the drop-down menu under 3D Locations, and select ‘Location from Drawing and Reality’
   

4. The Location from Drawing and Reality window will appear. Select to resume with 2 points or 3 points. If using 2 points to resume location, Automatic-Levelling should be selected to Auto-Level the Flexijet (unless in a situation using Manual Levelling, such as on a boat.)
   

5. Following the command prompt, click the points you wish to use as reference. Reminder to use the 3D measurement points, not points that have been projected to a plane.
   

6. Now, follow the command prompt to measure those same points in reality with Flexijet. Measure these points in the same order they were clicked in the step above.
   

7. The command prompt will now display if the repositioning was successful.

8. Once you have resumed your location, Recommend checking the accuracy of the relocation using the ‘Show CAD point’ function.
