This Step is used to calculate the height difference from the detect point to the base point.

A line segment connecting the two specified points will be automatically drawn, and the variation of heights along the line will be shown in the height view widget.

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

Application Examples

measure height difference point to point application sample

Connect Read Point Cloud V2, Orthographic Projection, and Measure Height Difference Point to Point to calculate the height difference from the detect point to the base point.

Connect Steps

  1. Click Orthographic Projection, go to the Step Input Source Selection panel, and then select Read Point Cloud V2_1_Point Cloud With Normals as Input 1 (Point Cloud With Normals).

  2. Click Measure Height Difference Point to Point, go to the Step Input Source Selection panel, and then select Orthographic Projection_1_Depth Image as Input 1 (Visualization Background).

Configure parameters

  • Configure in Read Point Cloud V2 Click the Step and configure the Point Cloud Source and other parameters in the Step Parameters panel. After configuration, click Run to run the project after the settings.

  • Configure in Measure Height Difference Point to Point The baseline point and detect point are located in the upper left corner in the sketchpad area by default. Please drag them onto the point cloud.
