point cloud surfacing

point cloud surfacing

(OP)
Hello everybody,

I have got a point cloud (from a digitiser) and want to import it into proe and fit a surface through it. Anyone knows how this can be done?

Thanks
oriG

RE: point cloud surfacing

orig, I think and additional software from Pro/E maybe required. If my memory is correct. Dealing with and manipulating point clouds require "reverse engineering software". You may want to contact your Pro/e sales rep.
I hope this helps.

RE: point cloud surfacing

(OP)
thanks texas pete. but now I have divided the point cloud into sections so as to blend through them. their coords are recorded in txt files.I changed them into ibl files but the error "Line 1: Can not identify keyword." comes up.
what should the format of the ibl file be so that proe can read it and create the section from it?

RE: point cloud surfacing

Check to see if you have a license for Pro/SCAN_TOOLS (comes with WF2 FA,
don't remember 'bout WF).  If you do, create in Independent Geometry
Feature.  Menu: Geometry -> Sample Data from File, select High Density
to read in a points file (ibl or (?)pts) and play with it.  The resulting
scan curves(?) will make a decent visual reference.  "Real" curves (that
can be selected for geometry creation) can be created from them (Menu:
Geometry -> Curve -> From Sample Data).  ... And that's about the extent
of my playtime knowledge.  `;^)

P.S.  There are example ibl's for points and curves in Help.
