6.1.8 “Rectangular Pad” Measuring Program
Use the “Rectangular Pad” program to measure a rectangular pad in a point cloud.
Note: The “Rectangular Pad” program also requires a reference plane in addition to the point cloud as
input data. This reference plane can be calculated using the “Plane fit” measuring program (see Chap.
6.1.3 ).
Proceed as follows:
-
First, if you have not already, insert the “Plane fit” measuring program and configure the measuring
program in order to obtain a reference plane (see Chap.
6.1.3 ). Please note that you should use
the points of the pad for computing the reference plane. Move the measuring program such that it
comes before the “Rectangular Pad” program in the list of active measuring programs (see Chap.
3.14 ).
-
Select the input point cloud and the reference plane for the program (see below, section “1” and
Chap.
3.16.3 ).
-
Define a ROI for the pad measurement (see below, section “E” and Chap. 3.16.4 and 3.16.5 ). Make
sure that the ROI is as small as possible and completely encloses the pad. You should choose the
ROI such that the center point of the ROI is as close as possible to the expected center point of the
pad.
-
If necessary, change the edge threshold (see below, section “2”).
-
If applicable, select measured values that are to be used later for calculation, OK/nOK assessment,
logging and output (see below, section “H” and Chap.
3.16.8 ).
Note: Unlike other measuring programs, you have to define a ROI in the “Rectangular Pad” program in
order to obtain valid measurement results.
Note: Unlike other measuring programs, only one ROI can be used in the “Rectangular Pad” measuring
program.
