Analysis Point Cloud Surface Fit

 

Invoked ByPoint Cloud Tool Tab

 

Analysis Point Cloud Surface FitUse this command to analyze the distance between individual points in a point block and a given surface that was fitted through the point block.  The ratio of a given point distance to the surface

and the user specified max. distance range value determines the color of a point.

 

A "perfect fit" (or ratio value of 0.0) is green, a "1/2 of max range" (or ratio value of 0.5) is yellow, and a distance outside the max. range (>= 1.0 ratio value) is red. Any value in between will be mapped to the standard linear RGB color gradient of green->yellow->red.

 

This command also shows the min/max/average distances in the message area.

 

If STL or tessellated data is selected as the "input points" they are first blanked before the resultant color mapped vertices are displayed.  They can be accessed by unblanking them.

Max. Range

This sets the range of distance values that can be shown with the available gradient color. Any measured distance equal or larger that the value set in this field will be shown in red. You can use this to set the analysis threshold.
