#### Cylinder Basic Scan - Surface Data Method

To generate a cylinder using surface data:

1. Click on the Surface mode icon.

2. Position the cursor either outside or inside the desired cylinder.

3. Click once on a surface near the cylinder.

The dialog box will display the center point and diameter from the CAD data of the selected sheet metal cylinder once the third point has been indicated.

If additional mouse clicks are detected, PC-DMIS will find the best cylinder near all of the hits. The CutVec is the cylinder axis and the InitVec of the cylinder is calculated based on the first click. The angle is calculated as the angle of the arc from the first click to the last click.
