Filter Data to Nominal 3D Geometry

The 3D Auto Filter option can be used to perform feature extraction based upon proximity using geometry relationships with a nominal feature defined. Selecting this option will bring up the following dialog:

This function an be used in a couple ways:

  1. It provides a means to select a list relationships you would like to detect and a list of point clouds to filter from. It then will search through each relationship and all the clouds and populate all of them with the results at one time.

  2. It can be used “Live” as part of the Nominal Geometry Relationship build process. With the dialog open and the Live Auto Detect check boxes checked. Any newly built compare to nominal geometry relationship will be automatically analyzed and features extracted as part of the build process.

  1. Alternatively the same filter controls can be accessed for Points as well as clouds.

The Nominal Geometry Auto Filter dialog offers the following options:

Relationship and Point Clouds Selection.

Cloud Thinning Controls
