Learn how to use the Fit Circle to quickly fit line work to a point cloud. This is a great way to trace 2D linework, such as foundation location plans.
- [Instructor] Fitting circles to the point cloud…works the same way as Fit Outline Plan,…but in this case we'll select three points…on a point cloud arc.…Pointsense will then analyze the points…and fit the circle as closely as possible…to the point cloud slice.…So let's go ahead and open our exercise file,…desktop, exercise files, chapter five, O two.…So once again, we're not going to create that slice,…but remember you do have to have a slice…before these Fit outlines will work.…So let's turn off all our points…and look at the foundation slice that we created earlier.…
So I'm going to zoom in a little bit here…and we'll pick on a point cloud,…and I'm going to change the AutoCAD…point cloud colors to object color.…So if we zoom in a little bit,…you'll see we have some circular objects here.…If we wanted to trace those out,…I mean it's pretty straightforward.…We're going to go back to our Pointsense plans,…we're going to go back into our modeling tab,…but this time we're going to choose FitCircle.…So we're going to draw three points on the point cloud.…
