Point

Click Point to expand the drop-down list, where you can select the Anchor creation method.

Anchor

Directly anchor points on the model to create point features.

Note

Before creating point features using the anchor method, please import a reference model or a measured model.

The steps for creating point features through anchor are as follows:

1. Select Anchor in the drop-down list of Point to enable the anchor tool.
2. Click on the model in the 3D scene and define the feature as the Reference Feature or Measured Feature; then click Confirm in the Anchor window to create reference point or measured point.

Extraction​​

If the created feature is a reference feature, the corresponding measured feature can be extracted automatically or manually.

Note

If you define a feature as a reference feature, after importing at least one measurement model, you can extract the measured feature to generate feature pairs.

• Automatic Extraction: Enable Auto Extraction of Measured Values via Settings in the upper right corner of the software interface or check Extract Measured Feature in the creation window. The software will automatically extract the corresponding measured feature with default parameters after creating any reference feature.
• Manual Extraction: After creating a reference feature, right-click the feature group in the tree view on the left, select Extract Measured Feature and specify the measurement model to be extracted; you can specify Align Object in the extraction pop-up window.
