Thickness of a cross-section
Hi,
I think it is an easy question, but how can i arrange the thickness of a cross-section taken from a point cloud data. i could not find. I do not mean spacing. I mean thickness of cross-section.
Actually i need 2D cross section data from 3d point cloud with minimum thickness. How can i get 2D cross section data.
Thank you..

Re: Thickness of a cross-section
If you double-click on the clipping plane or right-click on it and go to edit, you can change the depth of the cross section.

Re: Thickness of a cross-section
Hi,
The proposal from Kyle is correct.
Once you have created the clipping plane with the right depth, you can also separate this slice of the point cloud in a more permanent way with the tool cloud/separate with/visibility.
If what you are looking for is different, do not hesitate to ask some more!

Re: Thickness of a cross-section
I use create along axis tab. I do not create a clipping plane. Is it possible to solve from create along axis options?

Re: Thickness of a cross-section
Hi Mehmet,
The outputs of the "create along axis" command are polylines: vertices connected by segments. Usually created as a section of a mesh at regular intervals along a curve.
This tool also allows to create polylines onto a point cloud. In this case, you can define the depth of the point cloud on which the polyline should be created at each section.
I would say that the polylines created on a mesh are much cleaner. This is why we promote this workflow.
In order to slice a point cloud along a curve, I would recommend to create a clipping plane following the input curve.
See a video of how to do it here:

Note: when a clipping plane is activated, you can lock a view to be always parallel to the plane: when moving the plane with the ctrl+wheel, the locked view will follow. To activate this, look for the lock on the bottom right of the software.

Good to hear!
Any chance you can share a video of what you achieved?

Re: Thickness of a cross-section
Hi,
I have one more question about cross section with clipping plane
The clipping plane have to be perpendicular to my long axis of my tunnel. How can i ensure that?
