I'm guessing this thread will have more to do with looping, generic features, and constructions commands rather than the task itself.
I can confirm that I sorta got a width to work with a measured plane and plane constructed from generic points... once... momentarily... but as soon as it ran in simulation, my work evaporated. I suspect it has to do with features generated within a loop.
A better title for this question would be "Creating Constructions from Generic Features Generated from Loops?" Anyway, here's my code.
I measure the planes...
SCN6 =FEAT/SCAN,ROTARY,NUMBER OF HITS=6,SHOW HITS=NO,SHOWALLPARAMS=NO MEAS/SCAN BASICSCAN/ROTARY,NUMBER OF HITS=6,SHOW HITS=NO,SHOWALLPARAMS=NO ENDSCAN ENDMEAS/ SCN13 =FEAT/SCAN,ROTARY,NUMBER OF HITS=6,SHOW HITS=NO,SHOWALLPARAMS=NO MEAS/SCAN BASICSCAN/ROTARY,NUMBER OF HITS=6,SHOW HITS=NO,SHOWALLPARAMS=NO ENDSCAN ENDMEAS/
I reverse the points of the first plane...
ASSIGN/DUMB=0 V1 =LOOP/START,ID=YES,NUMBER=SCN6.NUMHITS,START=1,SKIP=, OFFSET:XAXIS=0,YAXIS=0,ZAXIS=0,ANGLE=0 ASSIGN/SCN6_X=SCN6.HIT[V1].X ASSIGN/SCN6_Y=SCN6.HIT[V1].Y ASSIGN/SCN6_Z=SCN6.HIT[V1].Z ASSIGN/SCN6_I=SCN6.HIT[V1].I*-1 ASSIGN/SCN6_J=SCN6.HIT[V1].J*-1 ASSIGN/SCN6_K=SCN6.HIT[V1].K*-1 ASSIGN/DUMB=DUMB+1 "SCN6_REVPNT_"+DUMB =GENERIC/POINT[B],[/B]DEPENDENT,CARTESIAN,$ NOM/XYZ,<SCN6_X,SCN6_Y,SCN6_Z>,$ MEAS/XYZ,<SCN6_X,SCN6_Y,SCN6_Z>,$ NOM/IJK,<SCN6_I,SCN6_J,SCN6_K>,$ MEAS/IJK,<SCN6_I,SCN6_J,SCN6_K> LOOP/END
And then again with the second plane...
ASSIGN/DUMB=0 V2 =LOOP/START,ID=YES,NUMBER=SCN13.NUMHITS,START=1,SKIP=, OFFSET:XAXIS=0,YAXIS=0,ZAXIS=0,ANGLE=0 ASSIGN/SCN13_X=SCN13.HIT[V2].X ASSIGN/SCN13_Y=SCN13.HIT[V2].Y ASSIGN/SCN13_Z=SCN13.HIT[V2].Z ASSIGN/SCN13_I=SCN13.HIT[V2].I*-1 ASSIGN/SCN13_J=SCN13.HIT[V2].J*-1 ASSIGN/SCN13_K=SCN13.HIT[V2].K*-1 ASSIGN/DUMB=DUMB+1 "SCN13_REVPNT_"+DUMB =GENERIC/POINT,DEPENDENT,CARTESIAN,$ NOM/XYZ,<SCN13_X,SCN13_Y,SCN13_Z>,$ MEAS/XYZ,<SCN13_X,SCN13_Y,SCN13_Z>,$ NOM/IJK,<SCN13_I,SCN13_J,SCN13_K>,$ MEAS/IJK,<SCN13_I,SCN13_J,SCN13_K> LOOP/END
Then I construct the generated points into a concatenated plane with a reversed vector...
PLN4 =FEAT/PLANE,CARTESIAN,OUTLINE,NO,LEAST_SQR THEO/<0.1134,-1.043,-0.0217>,<0,1,0> ACTL/<0.1134,-1.043,-0.0217>,<0,1,0> CONSTR/PLANE,BF,SCN13_REVPNT_1,SCN13_REVPNT_2,SCN13_REVPNT_3,SCN13_REVPNT_4,SCN13_REVPNT_5,SCN13_REVPNT_6,SCN6_REVPNT_1,SCN6_REVPNT_2,SCN6_REVPNT_3,SCN6_REVPNT_4,SCN6_REVPNT_5,SCN6_REVPNT_6,, OUTLIER_REMOVAL/OFF,3 FILTER/OFF,WAVELENGTH=0
Finally I use the reverse plane with the simulated measured points to create a width construction...
WIDTH2 =FEAT/WIDTH,CARTESIAN,OUT,LEAST_SQR,NO THEO/<0,0,0>,<0,0,1>,0 MEAS/<0,0,0>,<0,0,1>,0 CONSTR/WIDTH,BF,13320_PLN,PLN4
I'm sure anybody that uses loops a lot probably already knows why every time I run this code, all the features populated my plane construction get erased
and replaced with a single point from each scan the plane fails.
What am I doing wrong, how do I fix this?
