Objective:
I would like to display the X,Y,Z coordinates of point data as text labels in the 3D scene.
Resolution:
- Right click on the Points and go to Calculations and Filters.
- Create 3 new numeric calculations.
New Numeric Calculation called "X Coord"; the output should just contain [x]
New Numeric Calculation called "Y Coord"; the output should just contain [y]
New Numeric Calculation called "Z Coord"; the output should just contain [z] - Save.
- In the 3D scene, load the points on and go into the display properties in the bottom right hand corner. (Make sure labels are turned on.) Click "Format Display Text", and then enter the 3 calculations in a row.
Notes:
Be creative with Calculations and Filters! There are many applications. This is just one.
