Abstract
A method, computer program product, and apparatus for displaying a calculated geometric entity within at least one 3D range data set obtained using a 3D rangefinder device. At least a first 3D range data set is provided. Each 3D range data set is displayed as at least one displayed image. A calculated geometric entity that represents a non-physical entity is specified. The calculated geometric entity is displayed merged within at least one displayed image, where the calculated geometric entity represents something other than the physical objects represented by the first 3D range data set.
