POINTCLOUDPROJECTSECTION command

Automatically generates a 2D raster image with optional contour lines from a defined section box.

Description

Opens the Command Context panel.

Note: The options within the POINTCLOUDPROJECTSECTION command are identical to the ones in the Command Context panel.

Options within the command

change Selection
Allows you to select section volumes to project.
change Pixel size
Controls the pixel size of the generated image.
Attach to
Determines where the resulting image is generated. Allows you to switch between Same.dwg and New destination.
Same dwg
The projection is made in the same file.
Destination file
Creates a new .dwg file to make the projection.
Note: You can overwrite a previous file or create a new one.
Resolution
Determines the resolution of the projection. Allows you to switch between Finest and Adaptive.
Finest
Produces a sharp and detailed background picture. It uses all the points in the point cloud.
Note: The projection in the finest resolution would take longer to complete.
Adaptive
Produces a less detailed and softer background image.
aTtachment point
Determines the insertion point for the generated image. Allows you to switch between Section plane, X-y plane and Back plane.
Section plane
Attaches the projection to the section plane.
X-y plane
Attaches the projection flat to the X-Y plane.
Back plane
Attaches the projection to the back plane of the section volume.
detect Walls
Allows you to switch between Yes and No.
Yes
Lines representing walls will be generated with the raster image.
No
Only a raster image is created.
toLerances
Allows you to modify the parameters that control 2D line drawing.
Search area
Allows you to switch between Across volume and Distance from section.
Across volume
Detects all walls in the point clouds. This option is often used to generate floor plans.
Distance from section
Detects walls in a given radius from a plane. This option is often used to generate vertical sections.
Wall distance
Controls the search area for wall detection.
Gap
Controls the search area for the algorithm to draw lines. Gaps smaller than the specified value will be closed.
Angular

Controls the angular tolerance of the generated lines. A high tolerance will result in pronounced right angles. This is useful for perpendicular plans.

Generated lines with a smaller angle than the specified value will be merged.

Minimum length
Controls the minimum length of a generated line. Lines with a smaller length than the specified value will not be generated.
Overwrite

Allows you to switch between Yes and No.

If applicable, it overwrites any old image files on disk related to this section volume.

reMove old

Allows you to switch between Yes and No.

If applicable, it removes previously added images or lines to this section volume.
