Uses ordered (raster) scan data, a surface, and a B-Spline defining surface edges to identify edge points from within point clouds. It then creates vectors and determines if the points meet a specified tolerance.
Input Arguments
0 |
Collection Object Name Ref List |
Edge Cloud Names |
The names of the clouds to consider. |
1 |
Collection Object Name |
Edge Surface Name |
The surface containing the edges to evaluate. |
2 |
Collection Object Name |
Edge BSpline Name |
The name of a B-Spline along the edge of the surface in argument 1. |
3 |
Collection Object Name |
Output Prefix |
A prefix to apply to the names of all resulting groups from the command. |
4 |
Double |
Inspection Increment |
The defined distance along the edge at which to sample the cloud data. |
5 |
Double |
Proximity Filter Distance |
Points outside this distance are unusued. |
6 |
Double |
Edge Bias Value |
Affects material thickness at the edges. |
7 |
Double |
Error Tolerance |
The allowable tolerance for errors at the edges. |
8 |
Boolean |
Use Cosine Projection Method |
Indicates whether the cloud points are projected back to the surface before the distance from the spline is computed. |
9 |
Integer |
Minimum Number of Edge Points per segment |
The minimum number of points required for each segment of the edge. |
10 |
File Path or Embedded File |
Intermediate Calculation Results File(optional) |
An optional file in which to store a log of the intermediate results of the calculations. |
Return Arguments
11 |
String |
Summary Result |
A text summary of the result of the command. |
Returned Status
SUCCESS |
The evaluation was performed successfully. |
FAILURE |
One or more required objects was not found. |
Remarks
This command finds cloud points close to the specified edge, and creates four point groups: One for points in the tolerance, one for outside the tolerance, one for outside the tolerance and above, and one for outside the tolerance and below. Vector groups are the created projecting the “above” and “below” points to the nominal edge.
