Filtering Clouds to a Plane

You can filter one or more clouds to single a plane. After specifying a proximity to the plane, SA will create a point group or cloud containing all cloud points within the prescribed proximity to the plane.

To Filter Clouds to a Plane:

  1. Select the desired filter plane.

  2. Select one or more clouds to filter.

  1. At the prompt, enter the desired destination group name (or cloud name, if you choose to create a cloud).

  2. Specify a filter proximity, which indicates how close a cloud point must be to the plane to be used. If you enter 0, all source cloud points will be used. The Filter Clouds to Plane dialog will appear.

  1. Select the desired options, then click OK.
