Creating a plane through points
Creating a plane through points
(OP)
What is the best method to create a plane that is a best fit through a number of points.
Currently, I am using the Surface from Point Cloud feature and specifying a U and V degree of 1. Then I place a plane on this surface. However, the Surface from Point Cloud is limited because you cannot edit the paramters after creation. I'm not sure if it is associative either.
Thanks

RE: Creating a plane through points
As you may know any three points will create a plane, for more than three it is possible for some to be off the plane. Your cloud of points method would be as good a method as any, provided that you set the U and V degree and patches both to 1 then it will generate a planar face.
