2.3 Guidelines, Manuals and other Texts 
Spanish which should allow people participating in 
international projects to communicate in an appropriate manner. 
On the Internet the glossary is combined with illustrations. 
2.4 Software 
Apart from the presentations and the manual, the main emphasis 
was put on a program called IMDIS, providing a simple and 
easy to use rectification tool. It is an excerpt of the commercial 
software package Archimedes3D (Wiedemann et al., 2003). The 
rectification can be made to selected points on a vertical plane 
from a cloud of 3D control points or on a simple planar 
rectangle. Results can be achieved rapidly in the field if a digital 
camera is used. The flexibility of the software has been reduced 
to simplify the user interface and prevent the user from 
decisions (like the applied re-sampling mode) with subordinate 
importance in the vast majority of situations. The rectification 
plane is defined as the adjusted vertical plane through the group 
of points, which have been measured in the image. 
The software works only with a Microsoft Windows® operating 
system and is therefore not available on other platforms. The 
version for small images (results smaller than 1000 x 1000 
pixels) is free of charge available on the Internet at 
www.archimedes3.com. Unlimited versions with the same or a 
wider functionality are available at the FPK Ingenieur GmbH, 
Berlin, Germany (see www.fpk.de). 
A German language manual has been produced for architectural 
surveying, based on the experiences in interdisciplinary projects 
and teaching of graduate students in conservation. Further 
textual contributions to the RecorDIM initiative is the core of a 
glossary, at the moment in English, German, French and 
Some other tools for point and vector data manipulation 
(vdfcopy), for simple geodetic calculations (poly), point 
transformation (vdftp) and the generation of point marks 
(marks), are available for different platforms free of charge 
without any restrictions.
