Locators > Deviation > MinMax Cloud-Surface deviation
Adds a measurement showing the minimum and maximum
deviation between a point cloud and a surface.
This tool creates a locator showing the deviation
between the two objects, labeling the minimum, maximum, mean, and
displaying a deviation comb indicating the deviation across the
length of the objects.
Objects in reference layers can be selected
from within this tool.
To add a deviation comb between a surface and
a point cloud
- Click
the MinMax Cloud-Surface deviation icon,
or choose Deviation > MinMax Cloud-Surface deviation from
the Locators palette menu.
- Click
the cloud, then click the surface.
- The
new deviation comb appears.

to change the scale of the
quills.
- Drag
the comb with the
to change the sampling density
of the quills.

and drag a label to move it.
Tips and notes
- The MinMax
Cloud-Surface deviation tool is especially useful since
you can check the fit between raw cloud data and surfaces created
to fit the data.
