Geometric features

In some cases it is preferable to directly use the geometric shape instead of a discrete version as, for example, a mesh or a polyline. The software offers you, therefore, the possibility to create features as lines, planes, circles, rectangles, cylinders, spheres and cones directly using several methods.

In the following exercises you will see how easy it is to create, extract and to use geometrical features:

• Exercise: Create a geometric shape

• Exercise: Compute best shapes from clouds and polylines

• Exercise: Extract features from a point cloud
