TIPS AND TRICKS
Reality Computing
Dynamic UCS
The handy to use Dynamic UCS tool now
works on point clouds! Just make sure
Dynamic UCS is turned on and all the point
cloud object snaps are turned off. Pass your
cursor over a point cloud face and begin
drawing!
The point cloud must include
segmentation data (indicated in the
Properties Palette).
Point Cloud Object Snaps
Control the point cloud object snaps from the
D Object Snap tab of Drafting Settings. New
osnap modes include Intersection, Edge, Cor-
ner, Perpendicular to Edge, and Centerline!
Be sure D Object Snap is displayed
on the Status bar for easy access to the point
cloud object snaps.
• Use the Intersection object snap to snap to
the apparent intersection of two lines of a
sectioned point cloud.
• Edge snaps to the edge of two intersecting
planes.
• Corner snaps to the corner of three
intersecting planes.
• Use Perpendicular to edge to draw
perpendicular to the edge of two
intersecting planes.
• Use Centerline to snap to the centerline of a
cylindrical shape.
