Creates a new point cloud composed of stripes containing probing directions within the set angle with respect to the direction object.
Input Arguments
0 |
Collection Object Name |
Source Cloud Name |
The reference cloud from which to generate the cloud. |
1 |
Collection Object Name |
‘Normal to’ Object Name |
The name for the reference Object used to define the nominal direction. |
2 |
Double |
Acceptance Angle |
The angle to use for the evaluation |
3 |
Collection Object Name |
Destination Cloud Name |
The name of the resulting Cloud |
4 |
Boolean |
Hide Source Cloud |
True - will hide the source cloud after the opera- tion. |
Return Arguments
None.
Returned Status
SUCCESS |
The cloud was created successfully. |
FAILURE |
The source cloud was not found. |
Remarks
Each line of a scan stripe cloud includes the probing vector or direction from which it was scanned. This direction is typically from the instrument to the part. This command uses that direction, reverses it, and compares it to the Z-axis or normal direction of the reference object. If the delta is within the specified acceptance angle it is saved and passed to the resulting cloud.
