Auto Filter Proximity Settings

In most cases the cloud filter settings saved with each feature are the best filter controls because they can be set independently. Select Use Filter Settings to use the saved feature settings from the individual features.

 

Using the 3D Nominal Geometry Auto Filter Settings

This filter process takes the selected point clouds and detects from those clouds the cloud points that fall within a specified proximity to the nominal feature. This filter process falls into two categories: 2D and 3D objects and the controls for each are separately designed.

For 3D objects such as Planes, Cylinders, Cones and Spheres there are two basic parameters to consider:

 

3D extractions of 2D features

2D features such as circles require an additional parameter because they are both detecting the measured plane used for projection and the filter points. Therefore there are three parameters to consider.

These values defines either the total bidirectional distance, when the Both option is checked or a singe direction value when either the Positive only or Negative only options are set.
