Defining Snap Planes and Lines Used for
Reference in Measurements
Perform the procedures in this section to define snap planes and lines used as a
reference points for projecting measurements from objects to other surfaces. The
same instructions apply for creating free-form (non-snap) planes and lines for use
in measurements.
Defining a Snap Plane Using Point Sets
►
To define a snap plan using point sets:
1
Click the Define
button and select Define Snap Plane. If you are creating
a free-form, non-snap plane for a measurement, then skip this step and begin
with step
2
.
2
Select the Choose Plane by Point Set option
on the Plane toolbar.
3
Double-click a point in the point cloud from which to start defining the plane.
The software automatically detects and highlights neighboring co-planar
points in the plane located at a distance smaller than defined in the Radius
field (refer to the Managing Measurements and Views section on page 110).
–OR–
Instead of defining a new point, select a previously defined point by
double-clicking the entry in the Primitives or History panes.
