volcarve help
- Log onto sgi.ugcs
- add /ug/space/3dp/tools/bin to your path
- run: volcarve -in <3dpfile>. The <3dpfile> is the same file used for 3dpalign.
- The ? button in the upper left hand corner will pop-up a help dialog. To generate and view a finished surface, press P.Use the D button to edit display options.
- Remove unwanted voxels using the connected component finder (K) and the cutting plane (C). Refine the mesh further with (R) . Repeat until mesh is clean. If you make a mistake, (U) is a one-step undo.
- To save a volume for future editing use (S).
- Once the mesh has been cleaned, run volcarve in non-interactive mode to refine even further: volcarve -in <3dpfile> -invol <volume_name> -nodisplay -refinesteps <1 or 2>
- Now you can generate that mesh you've always dreamed of: vtk /ug/space/3dp/tools/marchC.tcl. This will generate a file called volume.iv in the current directory. Be careful to remove the files named mcubes.bin mcubes.limits and signedD.volume- they're quota busters.
