Geometry Fit

The Analysis Tab of the User Options offers several important controls for geometry fitting:

There are a number of places where these Geometry Fit settings apply and more details are found in the sections specific to each.

Fit immediately when dialog opens (uncheck to set options first) is a setting that directly applies the right-click Fit Geometry option on a point group or a point cloud.

Geometry Fit Profiles are a list of saved geometry fit methods that can be identified by name.

These Fit Profiles are used fits triggered from an MP or SDK application that take a Fit Profile Name input argument.

Cardinal Point Naming. The specified Group Suffix will be used to identify the point groups created when cardinal points built either as part of a geometry fit operation or through Geometry Relationship (GR-Feature) construction. A newly created plane for example might have the name "Fitted Plane". The cardinal points for that plane will then be placed in a point group named "Fitted Plane - Cardinal Pts", where "Cardinal Pts" is the group suffix.

Desired Measurement Count Options offer the ability to enable or disable a measurement count assignment that is applied to newly created GR-Features. They will also apply to GD&T Feature Checks that are linked to the same corresponding SA geometry types.

Check a box under either the 2D or 3D geometry columns to enable measurement counts for any particular geometry and then edit the corresponding number of measurements to apply.

Feature Check Cloud Thinning. GD&T feature checks can be set to Use Global Defaults  with thinning cloud points associated with the checks. These defaults are set here.

GD&T Options  The default GD&T Options are discussed in GD&T User Options

The GD&T check results are typically shown in the graphics following the Annotation. This can be turned off using the Show Feature Check Results in 3D View check box.
