Quick section from point cloud, mesh or surface
Use this command to create a polyline by cutting with an horizontal or vertical plane a surface, point cloud or mesh. The cross section is stored in the current drawing subproject.
This command is very useful when working with point clouds, to create quickly cross sections
Click Draw.
Click below Polyline to open drop down menu.
Click Quick section Horizontal to create an horizontal cross section.
Click Quick section Vertical to create a vertical cross section.
This opens a new panel on the right.
Select the source (mesh, point cloud or surface).
Depending on the cross section, define the cross section position:
Horizontal cross section: enter or click on the model to define the reference elevation for the cross section.
Vertical cross section: click on the model to define the reference axis for the vertical cross section.
Enter the settings:
Thickness: the thickness of the plane (width of the band of interest).
Average distance point: if the distance between the points exceeds the indicated value the section line is broken into a new segment.
Vertexes reduction: option for reducing vertices of the polyline.
Tolerance: the tolerance for the vertexes reduction option.
Click Calculate.
The polylines are created under the current drawing subproject.
