hi all,
I thank you some help.
I have an object from a scan (irregular and incomplete shape).
Object was imported to MM and it was scaled (it had some reference points).
My final goal is the dimension (in X axis) between 2 points at different level. I mean, it would be the distance between the projected points to the grid plane.
My strategy was:
1.- Create 2 Primitives in the desire areas using Fit to Primitives. I used "Spheres best fit".
2.- Add Pivots to these spheres. Create Pivot/ Bounding box. So, center of the spheres would be matched.
3.- align the axis of these Pivots to the World coordinates system, so Pivots will be aligned with X axis of the scene.
4.- Measure the projection of these 2 Pivots on the grid plane.
I don't know if this is possible... I am stopped at step 2, Pivots created. I don't know how to continue.
I thought a "personal" method, but I'm not sure if it was the best, and also I don't know how to do it in MM. I would add another Primitive (2x cilinder) aligned with the Pivots in the center of the 2 spheres, and with the lowest faces of the cilinders also aligned with the grid plane. Then add 2 new Pivots in the face of these 2 lowest faces, and finally the Measure between these 2 Pivot points. But I don't know how to do this method.
Could you please help me how to measure this distance?
Please see attached pictures.
Also, is there any way of adding new Primitive Type to Fit Primitive list? (Select/Edit/Fit Primitive)
Thank you
