Description

This command is used to reassemble a set of .c3d files generated by splitting the reconstruction of a take into smaller chunks (see reconstructChunk). For example, a long capture session of 10,000 frames can be reconstructed on five different machines in parallel, each machine processing a different set of 2000 frames. The resulting files can then be reassembled into a single .c3d file using this command.

By default, this command reparents the markers to the first character in the scene, and deletes any other characters in the scene.

Syntax

reassemble "fileArray"[-tolerance integer] [-minGap integer] [-packEach] [-vLabel] [-reparent boolean]

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Comments
`fileArray`	string	yes	List of files to be reassembled

Flags

Name	Flag arguments	Argument type	Exclusive to	Comments
`tolerance`	1	integer	—	Maximum number of frames that may overlap between source files when reassembling. The default is 25 frames.
`minGap`	1	integer	—	The minimum number of frames needed between two markers' data ranges when packing markers.
`packEach`	0	—	vLabel	Use this option to pack markers during the read operation on each file, rather than after all the markers have been read in.
`vLabel`	0	—	packEach	Set this option to use velocity labeling, which blends transitions in marker positions between the different file data.
`reparent`	0	boolean	—	Set to true to reparent all markers to first character (deleting all other characters in the scene).

Return value

void

// Divide up a long reconstruction
reconstructChunk "Take1.x2d" 0 2005 -fileName "Chunk1.c3d";
reconstructChunk "Take1.x2d" 2000 4005 -fileName "Chunk2.c3d";
reconstructChunk "Take1.x2d" 4000 6005 -fileName "Chunk3.c3d"; 
reconstructChunk "Take1.x2d" 6000 8005 -fileName "Chunk4.c3d";
reconstructChunk "Take1.x2d" 8000 10000 -fileName "Chunk5.c3d";
reassemble "Chunk1.c3d" "Chunk2.c3d" "Chunk3.c3d" "Chunk4.c3d" "Chunk5.c3d";
