Filter Clouds to Vector Groups - Resolve Points    

Filters one or more clouds to one or more vector groups and outputs a new point group. Cloud points between the minimum and maximum proximity to a vector (radially)--and no more than the maximum distance from the be- ginning (tail end) of a vector--will be averaged to a new position (along the vector axis) and will be located on each vector’s axis.

 

Input Arguments

 

0

Collection Object Name Ref List

Cloud Names

One or more point clouds to filter.

1

Collection Object Name Ref List

Vector Group Names

The names of the vector groups to filter to.

2

Collection Object Name

Output Group Name

The name for the resulting point group.

3

Double

Minimum Proximity

The minimum distance for which points should be retained.

4

Double

Maximum Proximity

The maximum distance for which points should

be retained.

 

5

 

Double

Maximum Distance From Vec- tor Begin

The maximum distance from the tail end of a vector to a cloud point in order for that point to be considered.

6

Integer

Minimum number of required points

The minimum number of cloud points required

to satisfy the proximity requirements (Arguments 3-5) in order for a filtered point to be created.

7

Output Type

Output Type

Specify whether point clouds or point groups should be created.

 

Return Arguments

None.

 

Returned Status

 

SUCCESS

The cloud(s) were filtered successfully.

PARTIAL SUCCESS

One or more clouds or vector groups (but not all) could not be found.

FAILURE

The clouds or vector groups could not be found.

 

Remarks

If the “Minimum number of required points” argument is not satisfied for a given vector, no point will be created on that vector.
