Help > Introduction
Point Cloud for Rhino is a reverse engineering plug-in for
Rhinoceros® 3.0 and 4.0. This plug-in gives Rhino the ability to
reconstruct the geometry of an object from a point cloud which describes
it.
Point Cloud for Rhino can drape a surface over a point cloud or
wrap a mesh around a point cloud. Draping a surface is similar to laying
a piece of cloth over an object. The surface is deformed to take the
shape of the object along the drape direction. A surface can be draped
along one of the six orthogonal directions (top, bottom, front, back,
right and left) or a custom user specified direction. Wrapping a mesh is
similar to wrapping cloth all around an object to close it completely.
Point Cloud for Rhino has the ability to wrap a mesh around a concave or
a convex point cloud.
Point Cloud for Rhino
is designed to be
extremely user friendly and easy to understand. Once installed, it
automatically loads itself into the Rhino environment. If automatic
loading fails there are manual loading instructions in the
ReadMe file. Once loaded it adds new commands to Rhino's existing
commands and a new submenu called "PointCloud" to the Rhino menu
containing these newly added commands.
Point Cloud for Rhino comes with detailed documentation for each
command as well as a set of
tutorials to get you started in
the shortest possible time.
