Projecting a Mesh on a Plane

You can project a cloud of points or a mesh on a plane to obtain a planar cloud of points or mesh or to create a planar scan.

  1. From the Digitized Data section of the action bar, click Projection on Plane .
  2. Select the elements to project(meshes or clouds of points).
  3. Select the plane on which the Elements are projected.

    Alternatively right-click Plane to create one.

  4. Select one output option.
    • Distinct to create one output element for each input element.
    • Grouped to create one single output element.

The mesh is projected on the selected plane: ProjectionOnPlane.1 is created.

Note: After the mesh projection, the free boundaries do not correspond to the silhouette contour.
