System and method for adjusting view of a measuring report of an object

A computer-based method for adjusting view of a measuring report of an object, the method comprising:

• (a) defining a plurality of tolerance ranges for an area of the surface of the object having a tolerance in a predetermined range and a unique color for distinguishing each of the tolerance ranges, wherein the surface of the object comprises a triangulated surface of the object having a plurality of triangles;
• (b) reading data of a point-cloud of the object and the triangulated surface;
• (c) setting parameters to determine a position and an angle of the point-cloud and the triangulated surface in a coordinate system, wherein the parameters comprise a user-selected position of the coordinates and a user-selected angle for viewing the point-cloud and the triangulated surface;
• (d) reading a nearest distance between each triangle and a nearest point in the point-cloud;
• (e) assigning a color to each triangle according to the colors assigned to the tolerance ranges in which each nearest distance falls;
• (f) reading an outline curve of the triangulated surface;
• and
• (g) outputting a measuring report of the object, wherein the measuring report comprises the triangulated surface with the color of each triangle, and the outline of the triangulated surface.

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for that, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform a method for adjusting view of a measuring report of an object, the method comprising:

• (a) defining a plurality of tolerance ranges for a surface of the object and a unique color for distinguishing each of the tolerance ranges, wherein the surface of the object comprises a triangulated surface having a plurality of triangles;
• (b) reading data of a point-cloud of the object and the triangulated surface;
• (c) setting parameters to determine a position and an angle of the point-cloud and the triangulated surface in a coordinate system, wherein the parameters comprise a user-selected position of the coordinates and a user-selected angle for viewing the point-cloud and the triangulated surface;
