CAD drafting Trimming the Mesh by Point Cloud 6 Command line: PC_TRIM_BY_CLOUD

 

The command trims the triangulation mesh by the point cloud based on which it was created.

Often, after creating a triangulation mesh its edges are beyond the cloud. If it is required to trim the mesh edges exactly by the cloud, use the Trim Mesh by Point Cloud command.

Note

the Create 3D-mesh command duplicates the functionality of this command when setting the value Trim Mesh by Point Cloud for Trim Type option.

The command options are set on the Properties bar.

Options:

Distance

The maximum space. After cropping the mesh, the edge will be located not farther from the cloud points than the specified distance.

Island Area Ratio

If the ratio of cut parts area to the area of entire mesh is less than the specified value, the parts will not be trimmed. It is useful to exclude creation of small “holes” in a mesh, that appear when trimming. The range of acceptable values is from 0.0 to 1.0. Typical value: 0.01 – 0.05.
