That isn't quite the same thing, though. A scanned point cloud probably has too many points, and the position of each point has some dither. Deciding what is noise and what is features is one complication. It gets even harder if you have two surfaces very close together (an inside and an outside for example). Even if you build an STL from the points, that is still nowhere near a parametric solid. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
