Read reference points
Read reference points command loads points from files into TerraScan. Basically, it performs the same action as the Read points command but the loaded reference points are read-only. By default, the highest possible line number 65535 is assigned to reference points.
The reference points can be used for a direct comparison of old and new data sets. They are required for the Fit to reference command which can be used, for example, to fit two photogrammetric point clouds to each other.
To load reference points from files into memory:
1. Select Read reference points command from the File pulldown menu.
This opens the Read reference points dialog, a standard dialog for opening files.
2. Select files and click Open.
This opens the Load reference dialog, basically the same dialog as described for the Read points command. The line number is fixed to 65535 in this dialog.
3. Define settings and click OK.
This loads the points into the memory and displays them on the screen.
