PCEXTRACTSECTION (Command) Find
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Extract
Creates lines or 2D polylines along the estimated intersection of the point cloud with the section plane.
- Entire Cross Section
- Creates lines and 2D polylines along the intersection of the point cloud and the section plane, including the interior areas.
- Perimeter Only
- Creates lines and 2D polylines only along the intersection of the point cloud perimeter and the section plane.
Output Geometry
Specifies the layer, color, and object type of the extracted geometry.
- Layer
- Specifies the layer of the extracted geometry.
- Color
- Specifies the color of the extracted geometry.
- Line
- Specifies that planar surfaces are extracted as line objects. Curved surfaces are extracted as segmented 2D polylines.
- 2D Polylines
- Specifies that planar surfaces are extracted as 2D polylines.
- Polyline Width
-
Specifies the width of the 2D polylines that are extracted from point cloud.
Maximum Points to Process
Limits the number of points processed, and estimates the time to extract geometry.
Extraction Tolerances
- Minimum Line Length
- The minimum segment length for lines and 2D polylines created. You can enter a value or specify two points.
- Connect Lines Tolerance
- Connects endpoints of nearby extracted line segments when the distance is less than the specified value. You can enter a value or specify two points.
- Collinear Angle Tolerance
- Determines the maximum angular deviation before an extracted line or 2D polyline is separated into segments. A high value generally produces fewer and longer lines.
Preview Result
Displays a preview of the result before you complete the extraction. This lets you adjust the settings and view the changes instantly.
Create
Displays the extracted geometry. You can accept the extracted geometry, bring up the dialog box to change the selected options, or undo the extracted geometry.
