What is a Topology?

Topologies can be used to define specific regions in space based on spatial constraints. For example, a Clipping Box is a simple spatial constraint that uses the six faces of a cuboid to define the three-dimensional region of a topology. Each topology can be split up again into finer subdivisions, giving one the flexibility to use as many hierarchical levels as required to model a specific case.

All topologies of a scan project are stored within the same Navigation Pane.

Add a Topology

• Activate the Clipping Box
• Move and resize the Clipping Box to the desired area (e.g., one floor)
• Right-click in the Navigation Pane where you want to create the new topology
• Select the "New Topology" option from the context menu

Activate a Topology

• Hover the mouse cursor over the desired topology
• Click on the "Display" icon that appears next to the name

Change / update a Topology

• Activate the desired topology
• Move and resize the Clipping Box to the desired area
• To change the topology, right-click on it to open the context menu
• Choose the "Update Topology" option

Delete a Topology
