Quick profile


To create vertical cross sections of your models (grid or unstructured point clouds and meshes) by simply picking two points in the 3D window you can access the relative command in the top toolbars.


After clicking the Pick profile button, double click on two points in the 3D scene define start and end points of the section line; select to accept the choice. A cutting plane is created based on this profile, but its width and height can be changed later.


Flag Repeat profile to create more profiles, setting intervals and number of sections parallel to the main one.


Flag Extract point slice to extract also slices of point cloud in correspondences of the each profile. The thickness of the slice is defined by the slice depth value.


Follow the step-by-step video tutorial below to perform the Quick profile process.
