Save Geometry

 

The Save Geometry

 

The whole idea of the ultrasound modes is to create a 3D geometrical model of the ultrasound dataset.  This is where you save the reconstructed 3D geometry.

 

The program will pop-up a "save" window where you can select the file's name and path along with the desired file format.

 

 

You can save your geometries in one of the following formats:

 

 

mov

Movie.BYU format.  This old polygon format, developed by Brigham Young University for their MOVIE.BYU program in the 80's, is very simple which make it ideal to store simple polygonal objects such as those created in sliceOmatic.  The format is described in more detail in appendix E.

 

 

dxf

Autocad file format.  The geometries will be saved using the POLYLINE primitives.  A definition of the DXF file format can be found in Wikipedia.

 

 

stl

&

stl_ascii

 

Stereolithography file format (binary version and ASCII versions). A definition of the STL file format can be found in Wikipedia.  SliceOmatic can create and read ".stl" files.

 

Note:

STL format can only describe 1 object.  If multiple objects are selected, sliceOmatic will create 1 file per object.

 

 

obj

Wavefront OBJ file format.  A definition of the OBJ file format can be found in Wikipedia. SliceOmatic can create ".obj" files, but it cannot read them.

 

 

wrl

A VRML polygon file. A definition of the VRML file format can be found in Wikipedia.

 

 

License:

 

If you do not have the sliceOmatic or the Ultrasound Module license, this button will be disabled.

 

Note:

 

Saving the geometry will consume one "Geometry" token for each new dataset you export.

 

Note:

 

This button is only available if you have create a 3D geometry.  Accessing any of the ultrasound modes will automatically create a 3D geometry.
