Scans listed in the Comb Portal can be opened in the interactive Scan Viewer. Simply click on the button located in the same row as the file.
Scan Viewer Interface
- The top left corner of the Viewer window contains file information associated with the scan being viewed.
- Below the file information are buttons to 1) re-center the scan within the Viewer window and 2) change the rendering style of the scan being viewed. By default, .stl files are only rendered in the ‘Solid’ style and this button will be disabled for .stl files because they do not contain surface color information.
- Located in the bottom bar of the Viewer window are buttons to 1) Download the scan to local storage and 2) Delete the scan from the Comb Portal. A confirmation dialog is presented to confirm or cancel deleting a scan.
- In the top right corner of the Viewer window is a button (X) to close the Viewer and return to the file list.
Interactive Controls
Interactively rotate, zoom, and pan to navigate the scan within the Viewer window. Camera controls are listed near the bottom of the Viewer window: Left click and drag to rotate, right click and drag to pan, and scroll wheel to zoom. The Viewer uses trackball style controls to make it easy to inspect a scan from any angle or position.
