Quick Surface Reconstruction - P2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPROVEMENT
Planar section:
Cutting a Cloud of Points or a Mesh by Planar Sections :
Infinite option is modal.
Step value is modal.
XY, YZ, or XZ plane definition is define as following : The cutting planes are parallel to either YZ, XZ or XY depending on which is perpendicular to the largest edge of the working box.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN PROBLEMS
Curve selection:
It may be difficult to select a curve on a dense tessellation or cloud. Use the "Zoom in" function or the Selection Navigator to make selection easier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Planar sections:
It is not possible to input a join as a guide contour (in the Generative Shape Design sense).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Powerfit:
Powerfit computes automatically points to take into account according to the boundary. But it is strongly recommended to use activate function in the case of undercut areas on cloud of points ( no need on polygon data )
To improve the surface result it must be efficient to use an initialization surface, especially in rounded areas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Curvature analysis & Slope analysis:
If digitized data are noisy, curvature and slope analysis will be difficult to use.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transformations:
The result of a cloud transformation is a feature entity. Activate/Remove/Filtering actions needs to be applied to the father entity.
To by-pass this, you can use Create Datum mode for the transformation but the visibility icon is not displayed in the specification tree.
