[Er...] Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I have a part that has a profile around the Center of the bore. I was attempting to scan it, but the customer was a big fan and wanted points. I now am checking the surfaces with 9 points, in 6 locations, 60 degrees apart for a total of 54 points. I can call them all into a profile result and get the value, which is fine, works great. The customer wants a heat map and for whatever reason, singular points don't show well in the cad evaluation. I decided I would recall the points into a free form feature, which at first a thought was working well. However, when selecting the points, it tells me there are only 48 points, when all 54 points are selected, and it's not showing all of them in the cad evaluation? It seems the results are accurate, but just missing some of the points. Any thoughts as to what is happening or what I am doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ju...] Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Do you have outlier elimination on the features? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Make sure to associate the CAD surfaces, or I believe it will filter points out. I feel like I've seen that before, but I could be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "Associate the Cad" Are you referring to selecting surfaces used and selecting the CAD surfaces? I have tried doing this as well. Is there a particular order that I need to do this? Selecting surfaces first, then recall the points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Nah. I don't think it matters the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a check box in the feature which says "Point Elimination with transition to another surface" and the point elimination activated box is checked. Initially, all 54 points are shown. Then when evaluated, it shows me 48 points. When unchecked, it changed to only evaluating 43 points. I have tried this with both cad selected, and unselected. It doesn't seem to change what it's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially what is happening is that it doesn't think the points fit the surfaces, so it is ignoring them. I have seen this with Free-Forms and transitions.
