### Pointcloud Point Information

When the Pointcloud dialog box is open, you can view point specific information by clicking on the needed point in the Graphics Display window. This opens the Pointcloud Point Information dialog box.

Pointcloud Point Information dialog box

From this dialog box you can view the XYZ and the Normal point vector values for the Pointcloud point as well as the ID for the selected point. The corresponding CAD's XYZ and Normal vector values are also displayed.

Deviation: Displays the distance from the Pointcloud point to the corresponding CAD point.

Thickness: This value is added to the deviation from CAD value computed when you click on a Pointcloud point. This value is useful, for example, if you have a CAD surface model and want to add material thickness.

Scale: This value determines the scale at which the deviation arrow will be displayed in the Graphics Display window. For example, A scale of 10 would display an arrow with a length that is ten times the length of the deviation.

The deviation arrow is displayed when you select a point form the Graphics Display window. The arrow indicates the direction of the point deviation from the CAD.

Create Constructed Point: When this check box is selected, a constructed point will also be created for the selected point. The constructed point is named with the following convention and added to the part program: <pointcloud name>_P<point ID> (e.g. COP1_P185048)

Using Point Data for Auto Features

When the Auto Feature dialog box is open, you can provide input data for the given auto feature by clicking the needed points from the pointcloud. See "Auto Feature Extraction" for more information.
