3D Toolbar
The 3D toolbar of the spreadsheet allows single-click access to various settings that you can use to manipulate the appearance of the acquired 3D point cloud.

Color 3D Image By Height |
Enables the Z-Axis Height Color Map and the Color Map Legend, indicating the height of the point cloud points along the Z-axis, relative to the height coloring setup in the Spreadsheet Editor.
When color mapping is enabled, the warmer the point is, the closer it is to the top threshold (i.e., it is "higher" in the working space of the sensor). Consequently, the colder it is, the closer it is to the bottom threshold (i.e. the lower it is in the working area of the sensor). |

Fit 3D Image to Window |
Fits the 3D point cloud to the display. The point cloud will automatically scale to be maximally displayed in the viewer. The original aspect ratio of the point cloud is also maintained, therefore it may not fill the viewer completely. |
||||
![]() |
Toggle 3D Grid |
Toggles a 3D grid around the point cloud, indicating the planes, axes and distances within the point cloud space.

Toggle Lambert Lighting |
Enables or disables ambient directional Lambert lighting in the 3D scene. When disabled, lighting is cast from the Z-axis. When enabled, it comes from the 3D viewer camera perspective. Tip: Enable or disable this setting based on which features of the acquired point cloud you wish to be visible.

Show 3D Image From Left |
Changes the view to display the point cloud on the Y and Z-axes, in a reverse X-axis direction (in other words, shows the point cloud "from the left"). |
||||
![]() |
Show 3D Image From Right |
Changes the view to display the point cloud on the Z-axis and a reverse Y-axis, in an X-axis direction (in other words, shows the point cloud "from the right"). |
||||
![]() |
Show 3D Image From Top |
Changes the view to display the point cloud on the Z-axis and a reverse Y-axis, in an X-axis direction (in other words, shows the point cloud "from the right"). |
||||
![]() |
Show 3D Image From Bottom |
Change the view to display the point cloud on the Y-axis and a reverse X-axis, in a Z-axis direction. In other words, this view shows the point cloud "from the bottom", with the perspective aimed toward the camera sensor. |
||||
![]() |
Show 3D Image From Front |
Changes the view to display the point cloud on the Z-axis and a reverse X-axis, in a reverse Y-axis direction. In other words, this view shows the point cloud "from the front", and the orientation on-screen is as if looking at the inspected part facing from camera-to-laser in front of the 3D vision system. |
||||
![]() |
Show 3D Image From Back |
Changes the view to display the point cloud on the X and Z-axes, in a Y-axis direction. In other words, this view shows the point cloud "from the back side", and the orientation on-screen is as if looking at the inspected part facing from camera-to-laser behind the 3D vision system. |
||||
![]() |
Show 3D Image Isometrically |
Changes the view to isometric, with all three coordinate axes appearing equally foreshortened, and the angle between any two of them being 120 degrees. This is the default perspective. |

![]() |
Quick Drop Box |
Clears the currently edited Box3D or Region3D structure, and allows you to draw a new 3D box or 3D region of interest in the 3D viewer, as shown below.
Note: This button is enabled only when you edit the Box3D or Region3D structure of a function.
