Full Version: Scaling image with points

From: Matadem

Good day.
Question is there a way to scale image with reference points?
I do scan images and import into Moi to cut gaskets and shapes.

And try to match it the way I do i takes a bit of time.
With reference point I could do this in no time and move on...

For example the attached gasket...scale it to the known measurement between the 2 centers and done :)

If not good addition for a script or future add ons

Tnx!

Just draw 2 circles with distance known
then import your image and resize it on these 2 circles
Something like that ?

Hi Matadem,

re:

Yes, the "Align" function inside the Image command is for doing that, see links here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=10975.2

It does image registration by picking 2 reference points on the image and then 2 reference points in the model and matching them up.

All methods are good. Different tools for different jobs.

This is the way….
