Feature Set to Surface Profile

Hi, I am new to the forum so please be considerate.

When you are creating a feature set and say you put in a circle, a line, and a plane, to create (scn1) when you output (scn1) as a profile Form+Location and MaxMin does this give you the profile of each individual point in those features or a profile of the centroids of those features?

If the centroids, Is there an easier way other than probing all the points over again or probing all the points and then creating your features to get what I am looking for?

Thank you for your help!

Centroids. You need to create the set from the hits of the feature(s). This can only be accomplished by editing the command text in Command mode.

First create the set from your features (I added a way to see how many 'hits' are in the set)


SCN1       =FEAT/SET,CARTESIAN
            THEO/<-32.482,-30.968,-10.997>,<0,0,1>
            ACTL/<-32.482,-30.968,-10.997>,<0,0,1>
            CONSTR/SET,BASIC,PLN1,LIN1,PNT1,,

            ASSIGN/V1=SCN1.NUMHITS

Then change the code to refer to all the individual hits of the features

SCN2       =FEAT/SET,CARTESIAN
            THEO/<-6.539,-21.095,-5.86>,<0,0,1>
            ACTL/<-6.539,-21.095,-5.86>,<0,0,1>
            CONSTR/SET,BASIC,PLN1.HIT[1..PLN1.NUMHITS],LIN1.HIT[1..LIN1.NUMHITS],PNT1.HIT[1],,

            ASSIGN/V2=SCN2.NUMHITS
