Profile Extraction

This workflow creates sections of meshes (or clouds) along an axis.

Requirements

Select one or several meshes (or clouds) and a polyline (or a CAD curve or a trajectory) and launch the workflow.


Notes

  • This workflow cannot combine meshes and clouds.

  • The top direction of 2D sections will be computed automatically according to Z. Consequently, the axis cannot be vertical: define a new UCS or rotate the data.

  • It is highly recommended to keep the same UCS activated all along the workflow.

  • Changing the colors of the inputs outside of the workflow may require to resume the workflow for it to apply in the report.

Practise

See the Exercise: Profiles on a linear project in the beginners guide section.
