You can use the Plane icon to measure any flat or planar surface. | |
To create a measured plane, you must take a minimum of three hits on any flat surface. If you only use the minimum of three hits, it's best to select the points in a large triangular pattern that cover the widest area of the surface. | |
Example Plane with 4 Points | Example Plane with 8 Points |
When you create a plane feature, PC-DMIS shows the outline of the plane from the plane's hits in the Graphic Display window: Sample plane from four hits taken on the Y- face |
