So for example, if you have scanned a floor, we can determine the flatness of that floor and see where the high and low spots are. There's many ways we can analyze the data. Some are a little bit more advanced for a basic course, so for now, we're just going to look at a very simple workflow. Here we have a cleaned up rotated version of our house. I've just created a UCS just so it'll make it a little more square. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to just look at this on an elevation view. And I just want to isolate the points on the floor. So I'm just going to take a little cut right through the floor here. And let's see what we've got, that looks fair. So let's look at that in a top view. So now we're going to analyze the points here. Now we can do two things, we can fit a plane in restricted, so it's going to take the average of all the points that you…
