Method

Assigns colors to point cloud points to visualize their closeness of fit with respect to the closest selected planar (sub)entity or TIN surface. The selected entities are isolated using crops while the Command Context panel is open.

After selecting the planar surface, TIN surface or the solid to compare the point cloud to, the Point Cloud Deviation Command Context panel opens to let you easily change the settings.

Options within the command context panel

Entities
Select entities in the drawing
Selects specific geometric entities in the drawing.
Entire drawing
Selects all geometric entities in the drawing.
Deviation range parameters
Note: Parameters previously set by the user are remembered.
Use Crops
Toggles the crop of the solids.
Note: This option is available only when the input entity is a solid.
Crop Thickness
Defines the thickness of a solid that is used around the geometry as a reference for proximity analysis.
Note: This option is available only when the input entity is a solid.
Good fit tolerance (G)
Sets the good fit (OK) tolerance value.
Bad fit tolerance (B):
Sets the bad fit (warning) tolerance value.
Color Mode
Continuous
Spreads colors continuously
Discrete
Spreads colors discontinuously.
Deviation Results
Displays the point cloud distribution in percentage and colors. You can switch between the Vertical Bar and Pie Chart tabs to visualise the percentages.
Keep Deviation Colors on Close
Toggles the visualisation of the point cloud distribution in colors after closing the panel.
Auto Apply
Automatically applies the changes made in the Command Context panel.
Note: The options within the Command Context panel reflect the options within the command line.
