Extracting Points for Standard Deviation

Extracting Points for Standard Deviation

Extracting Points for Standard Deviation

(OP)
Hi,

  I have a bunch of points on a surface.  How can I validate that these points are on the surface or some distance off of it, then calculate the standard deviation.

Thanks

RE: Extracting Points for Standard Deviation

(OP)
Hi,

  This is in refererenc to my orginal, "Extracting Points for Standard Deviation" posting.

  I uploaded a MS Word file with a handful of pics to better explain on what I'm trying to accomplish.  

  As you should see from the pictures, there's a handful points that should be along the face of the profile that it outlines.

  I'm trying to determine if each of these points are actualy on the face & if the are not, what distance does it deviate from it.

  With collected data, I will probably calculate the standard deviation.

  Please suggest methods to produce accurate results.

Thanks
