To project selected points

Use the Point-Cloud tab > Project panel > Selected Points option to compare the selected points with the CAD model and show the deviation of the points from their nominals.

Note: The Project option is available only when creating inspections for CNC and Manual machines.

To project points onto the CAD:

1. Select the points you want to project onto the CAD model.
2. Click Point-Cloud tab > Project panel > Selected Points.

   The progress of the projection is shown at the bottom left of the graphics window. When the projection is complete, PowerInspect uses the colours specified in the Tolerance Band page of the Options dialog to indicate whether points are above, within, or below tolerance. Use the Point-Cloud tab to view the deviation between the measured position of each point and the CAD surface.
