Feature Requests / Re: Import Scalebars between Markers

« on: December 23, 2023, 12:15:45 AM »

Hey ser1993, you can do this quite easily with the python api if you are familiar with it. Here is an example. I auto-detect 3 circular 12bit markers which are each 1 meter apart. Once the markers are detected you can use the python api to automatically create scale bars. Here is my code below:

Code: [Select]

def create_scale_bars(self):
        print('Creating scale bars...')
        marker1, marker2, marker3 = None, None, None
        for marker in self.chunk.markers:
            if marker.label == 'target 1':
                marker1 = marker
            elif marker.label == 'target 2':
                marker2 = marker
            elif marker.label == 'target 3':
                marker3 = marker

        distance = 1.0
        if marker1 and marker2 and marker3:
            scale_bar1 = self.chunk.addScalebar(marker1, marker2)
            scale_bar1.reference.distance = distance
            print(f'Scale bar of {distance}m added between "target 1" and "target 2"')
            scale_bar2 = self.chunk.addScalebar(marker1, marker3)
            scale_bar2.reference.distance = distance
            print(f'Scale bar of {distance}m added between "target 1" and "target 2"')
        else:
            print("Markers not found")
       
        self.doc.save()

General / Update Marker locations after moving/rotating model

« on: December 21, 2023, 11:32:26 PM »

How can I update the Marker positions after moving or rotating the model? I place markers to create scale bars, update the transform to apply the scale, then move the object to be aligned with +Z axis. However, after I move the object the marker positions remain the same. Updating the transform does not update the marker positions. How can I update the marker positions to be aligned with the new object position? (visually they are in the correct location but the X,Y,Z values remain unchanged - this is important as I have Python code that uses these positions).

Thank you,
