-

Threshold: The threshold for the preselection of the points. Points that deviate from the circle to
a smaller degree than the threshold are used for the circle fit. A higher threshold means that
more points are used for the circle fit.

-

Edge threshold: This threshold defines the minimum deviation of the surface from the refer-
ence plane in order to detect the edge points.

If the hole is a countersunk hole, or if 3D points of

the hole wall are available in the measurement data, this parameter can be used to alter the po-
sition of the calculated edge points relative to the reference plane.

3

3D-View: The 3D-View shows the fitted circle (orange). The points that were used to calculate the
circle are shown in blue. The input plane is shown in yellow, and the reference plane defined by
the input plane and edge threshold is shown in orange.
