Batch Menu¶
- The Batch Menu provides several tools for the creation of Tasks for data mass-processing.
- These Batch Processing tools use a spreadsheet view where each row is a Task to perform, and the columns specify the various parameters of the Task.
- Once the spreadsheet is populated, the Tasks are created with a single click.
- All Tasks can be scheduled for processing on the local computer
- Export and Conversion Tasks can be scheduled for processing on the network using Thinkbox’ DEADLINE Network Manager.
- The Batch Menu also contains some Scripting controls, including the Worlflow Wizard script, and the Launch Script menu item.
CONVERT POINT Files...¶
- Opens a Convert Point Files Dialog.
- This Batch Tool can be used to convert a large number of files in supported input file formats into SEQUOIA’s native SPRT file format, or other supported output formats.
- The input files can reside in different locations, and their output counterparts can be created in the same folder, or in a different location.
- Optionally, all input files can be saved to a single output file.
- If the input file does not provide any metadata specifying the Units, the user can provide the units as a parameter.
- If the input file does not contain channel naming information, the user can provide a channel mapping preset which can be reused for similar files of the same batch.
- The output filename can be set to the input file name, or to a pattern containing custom names, the original filename, and the units info provided as $tokens.
- Optionally, a resulting output file can be loaded in the Active Document by creating a Point Loader named according to the file name.
IMPORT POINT Files...¶
- This Batch Tool can be used to mass-create Point Loaders from any number of supported binary input files without performing any format conversion.
- Only binary file formats containing all relevant metadata (units, channel mapping) are supported.
- The spreadsheet contains parameters to control the naming of the Point Loaders, and whether the data will be loaded automatically.
EXPORT POINT Objects...¶
- This Batch Tool can be used to mass-export Point Loaders and Point Region Of Interest objects to supported output file formats.
- Each point source object can be saved to a different filename and path.
- Optionally, all objects can be saved to a single output file.
IMPORT MESH Files...¶
- This Batch Tool can be used to mass-create Mesh Loaders from any number of supported input mesh files.
- The spreadsheet contains parameters to control the naming of the Point Loaders, and whether the data will be loaded automatically.
EXPORT MESH Objects...¶
- This Batch Tool can be used to mass-export Mesh Loaders and Mesher objects to supported mesh output file formats.
- Each mesh source object can be saved to a different filename and path.
- Optionally, all objects can be saved to a single output file.
New WORKFLOW WIZARD...¶
- Runs the Workflow Wizard QML script.
- The Workflow Wizard implements the most typical Sequoia workflow steps (Loading, Converting, Filtering and Meshing point data files) in a single UI, together with instructions text.
- The script can be used as a starting point for custom scripts, and as an example of scripting using QML and JavaScript in SEQUOIA.
LAUNCH SCRIPT From File...¶
- Opens a file dialog to select a QML script file to load from disk.
- If a valild file is selected, it will be run.
