detect Master
detect Master symmetrizes, creates symmetric constraints, orthogonalizes and simplifies almost every form of planar polyline or polygon.

General Usage Instructions

Bringing symmetric forms of planar polylines into geometric constraints afterwards:

  1. Symmetrize the polyline
  2. Run GCSymmetric (DM_GCSYMMETRIC) on the symmetrized polyline

 

Using Lidar extracted building footprints as landmarks:

  1. Symmetrize the polyline
  2. Simplify the polyline

Commands

Ribbon/Toolbar Icon Command Command Description

Symmetrize

Symmetrize makes almost every form of planar polyline symmetric removing points if necessary.

GCSymmetric

Creates a symmetry line and geometric constraints for a symmetric form of polyline. This command doesn't remove points. The polyline should be symmetrized first.

Simplify

A symmetric form of polyline will be orthogonalized and simplified with respect to the symmetry. Edges shorter than a specified length will be replaced during simplification. The polyline should be symmetrized first.

DM_SETPROXY

Specifies the proxy settings for detect Master to check the user's subscription.

Installation/Uninstallation

The installer that ran when you downloaded this app/plug-in from the Autodesk App Store will start installing the app/plug-in. OR, simply double-click the downloaded installer to install the app/plugin. Make sure that the Autodesk product is completely closed when running the installer.

To uninstall this plug-in, exit the Autodesk product if you are currently running it, simply rerun the installer, and select the "Uninstall" button. OR, click Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features (Windows 10/11) and uninstall as you would any other application from your system.

Additional Information

For sensor data with large number of points there is a high runtime and memory consumption to be considered. Using 64GB of physically installed RAM, there is a limit of about 200-300 points per polygon. In the range of 4GB of free physically available memory, there are about 30-50 points per polygon possible. There is a memory check included, but if you are once into the system's page file, it may take a while until the broken memory is available again.
