4. FAQs

FAQ 1 - Why RhinoResurf register dialog does not display in my Rhino

Tutorial 13 - Point cloud to trimmed surface

In this tutorial we will how to fit a point cloud to surface by using 4 comands.

Step 1 : Start Rhino.

Step 2: Select Import… from the File menu. Import the point cloud data.

Step 3: Run RhinoResurf command _RsPointCloud2mesh , select the point cloud and click right mouse button. The point cloud was converted to mesh as shown in the following picture:

Step 4: Run RhinoResurf command _RsMesh2Surf . Select the mesh and click right mouse button. A dialog named 'Surface from mesh' shows. In the dialog panel, set 'Max Tol' as 0.5 and set 'Smooth' as 'medium', then click 'Apply' button. A NURBS surface generated.

Step 5: Run RhinoResurf command _RsMeshBdryCurves . Select the mesh and click right mouse button. The mesh boundary lines were extracted and shown. This boundary lines can be used to trim the surface in the next step.

Step 6: Run Rhino command _Trim . Select the boundary line and the surface. A trimmed surface was created. Here we got the final trimmed surface.
