Calc Distance from 3D Points to Plane

Function

This Step is used to calculate the distance from 3D points to the plane.

Hint

Before using this Step, please refer to Getting Started with Measurememt Mode to learn about basics of Measurement Mode.

Sample Application

../../../../../_images/sample_application12.png

Connect Read Point Cloud V2 with Calc Distance from 3D Points to Plane to calculate the distance from 3D points to the plane.

Connect Steps

Click on Calc Distance from 3D Points to Plane, go to the Step Input Source Selection panel, and then select Read Point Cloud V2_1_Point Cloud With Normals as Input 1 (Point Clouds With Normals) and Read Point Cloud V2_2_Point Cloud With Normals as Input 4 (Clouds for Fitting).

Configure parameters

Note

Please prepare the point cloud of the object to be measured in advance.

  • Configure in Read Point Cloud V2 (1)

    Click on the Step, and configure the Point Cloud Source and other parameters in the Step Parameters panel.

  • Configure in Read Point Cloud V2 (2)

    Click on the Step, and configure the Point Cloud Source and other parameters in the Step Parameters panel.

  • After configuration, click on Run to run the project.

Read the result

Click on Calc Distance from 3D Points to Plane and check the measurement in the Measurement Output panel.

Hint

You can set the LSL (lower specification limit) and USL (upper specification limit) in Measurement Output and Result View panels to check whether the measurement conforms to the specification.
