Volume

The volume is able to take in multiple point data such as point clouds. Points from within that data can be singled out and data outputted.

Coordinates

Name	Description
Position	This will move the object along X, Y and Z axis in the local space.
Scale	Scale of the coordinate system. To scale the Object check the settings under “Display”
Rotation	Rotation of the object along X, Y and Z axis.
Velocity	This is the speed of the object in the direction it is traveling along the X, Y and Z axis.
Acceleration	This is the rate of change of the velocity of the object.

Name	Description
Point	This is the number of points created by the volume.
Size	The dimensions of the volume area, height, width and length.
Get Size From Maps	The point size can be created from the map.
Show Mapping	This button will open the volume map in Mapping2D view.
Mapping Background	An image can be loaded using the button to be used as the background.

Name	Description
Display Object	If ticked, the object will be visible in the scene. If un-ticked, the object will not be visible.
Display Label	When on, there will be a label displayed next to the object.
Locked	When un-ticked, it activates keyboard shortcuts – pressing ‘E’ allows you to move and ‘R’ rotate.
Object Colour	Double click the colour block and this will open a colour picker. This can be used to change the object display colour.
Viewport Scale	Dimensions of the object in the viewport in meters.
Display SubPoints	By turning this on the subpoints of the object will be displayed. When turned off only the main point of the object will be visible.

Name	Description
Distance Tolerance	This increases the distance in-between the points.
Lifetime Tolerance	The more this is increased the longer the life of the point.
Keep Ids	The IDs from the individual Point Data Providers will maintain when this is enabled

Name	Description
Smoothing	By increasing this the smoother the movement of the points is.
Smooth Size	When ticked the smoothing filter will affect the size.

Name	Description
Border	The border clipping creates a smaller spawning area within the volume area.
Border X	The border will be added along the X axis.
Border Y	The border will be added along the Y axis.
Border Z	The border will be added along the Z axis.

This filter allows users to have direct access to the blob points generated by the blob detection via script and manipulate them via a script.

The object can be controlled and used as a node. The node is created by clicking and dragging the parameter on to the board.

Name	Description
Type	Input – The nodes input values are determined by incoming values from an external source. Output – The node is outputting data to another source.
Target Object	This is the object that will either be affected by the incoming values or output information.
Position	The directional XYZ values will be displayed here.
Rotation	The rotational XYZ values will be displayed here.
Enabled	When on, the parameter is active and enabled.
Display Colour	This colour block can be changed by changing the parameter.

Name	Description
Editable	When on, the node is editable.
Locked	When on, the node is locked into its position on the board.
