Constructs a point group from a point cloud.

 

Input Arguments

 

0

Collection Object Name

Cloud Name

The name of the point cloud to use as the source.

1

Collection Object Name

Point Group Name

The name of the point group into which to place the resulting points.

2

String

Point Prefix

A prefix applied to each point name.

3

Integer

Starting Point Number

The index at which to start numbering the result- ing points.

4

Double

Point Offset

The planar/radial offset to assign to each resulting

point.

5

Boolean

Sub-Sampling?

Specify whether to sub-sample the point cloud when creating the points.

6

Double

Sub-Sampling Distance

If sub-sampling is enabled, indicates the mini-

mum distance between the resulting points.

7

Boolean

Show Progress?

Specify whether a progress bar should be dis- played while calculating results.

 

Return Arguments

None.

 

Returned Status

 

SUCCESS

The point group was created successfully.

FAILURE

The point cloud was not found.

 

Remarks

If a resulting point group already exists, the specified points are added to the group. If any of the resulting point names already exists in the specified group, then they are sequenced to have a unique name.

Sub-sampling will ensure that each point in the resulting group is approximately, but no less than, the specified sub- sampling distance apart.
