Example Cone using eight points
|
You can use the Cone icon to measure conicity, angle at the tip, and orientation in space of the axis of a cone. The position of the baricenter of the points picked is also calculated. |
| To create a measured cone, you must take a minimum of six hits. The points to be picked must be uniformly distributed on the surface. The first three points picked must lie on a plane perpendicular to the main axis. | |
