Extract Pointcloud Scan Target Area for Mating Surface

PC-DMIS experts, I have a part requiring surface profile dimensioning of dia 55mm mating surfaces. There are 10 mating locations (envision top-bottom/left-right). With our Absolute Arm, I laser scanned entire part (no contact). Resultant COP facilitates auto-feature extraction on nearly everything I need, but I don't know what to use for this. Center of mating surface is a square slot. I expect it's essentially controlling flatness and location/orientation (form/fit/function). How can I extract a 55mm diametrical surface data from COP and surface profile? Thanks in advance. If needed, I'll try to post relevant innocuous pictures.

  • Thanks, Neil, for your reply. Ultimately, I might have to go that route. You're suggestions (in many other posts, along with others) have proven quite beneficial to me. When I ended up with millions of points in a single COP, I wanted to avoid creating 10 segregated locations like depicted in attached. Here's a cropped version of what I believe pertinent info.
