Infer 2D line or polyline geometry from a point cloud.
Create an Edge from a Point Cloud
- Select a point cloud
- Click Point Cloud tab
Extract panel Edge. Find - Hover over an inferred plane in the point cloud and click to select it.
- Hover over the next inferred plane adjacent to the first, and click to select it.
A line is created along the intersection of the two planar segments.
Create a Corner from a Point Cloud
- Select a point cloud.
- Click Point Cloud tab Extract panel Corner. Find
- Hover over a inferred plane in the point cloud and click to select it.
- Hover over the second inferred plane and click to select it.
- Hover over the third inferred plane that intersects the selected segments, and click to select it.
A point object is created at the intersection point of the three selected planes.
Create a Centerline from a Point Cloud
- Select a point cloud.
- Click Point Cloud tab Extract panel Centerline. Find
- Hover over a inferred cylindrical segment in the point cloud. A preview of the centerline of the cylinder is shown.
- Click to place the centerline.
Create 2D Geometry from a Sectioned Point Cloud
- Select a sectioned point cloud.
- Click Point Cloud tab Extract panel Section Lines. Find
- In the Extract Section Line from Point Cloud dialog box, specify the settings for the geometry to be created.
- Click Create to extract the underlying geometry of the sectioned point cloud.
