Slope Analysis

This command allows you to inspect the slopes of a mesh or a point cloud. An inspection value will be associated to each point of the cloud or vertex according to the angle between the local normal of the surface and the horizontal.

Requirements

Select the mesh(es) or the cloud(s) on which you want to analyze the slopes and launch the command (without any selection, you will have to click a point to extract a surface first).


  1. Define the maximum slope tolerance to be respected, as well as the unit.

  2. Only with a point cloud: you can change the slider for the Local Normal Smoothing. This slider allows you to increase or decrease the radius of the influence zone on a cloud, in order to not see the slope from one point to the other, but measure the slopes more globally on the cloud.
