[An...] Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Trying to figure out why there's no deviation from my surface points. Ive currently followed these steps 1. The master file was imported using target element type as CAD Body 2. Constructed a local coordinate system 3. Selected surface points to be measured 4. Import the specimen file, using target element type as mesh and prealignment by standard best fit 5. Aligned using local best fit to minimize the deviation between two surfaces 6. Transfer the surface points; copy every point from master file and link to specimen file to ensure repeatability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Hi, its because it looks like you have used measuring principle ' copy as actual element' so the nominal points end up just being linked to copies of themselves. You might want to consider converting nominal points from master file to surface points ' convert nominal element' so you can have access to measuring principles such as Intersection with mesh.

[An...] Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Thank you for the reply. I am still quite confused. I agree with you James- the points are being linked to themselves and cant seem to get 'convert nominal element' to fix the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Please sign in to view this username. go to the actual points in the tree and delete them. Once deleted you can get access to the measuring principles. Converting the nominal points wont fix the issue , but just will give some more measuring principle options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[An...] Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Hello James, Thank you again for your help but unfortunately I am still not getting the results I'm looking for. This is the methodology I am following on the Youtube video below and cant seem to make sense why the point transfer is not correctly transferring from CAD to Mesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I dont agree with the workflow shown in the video. You see they suggest using easuring principle Copy as actual element ...this is fundamentally what is causing your confusion. What are you trying to do? This is where spending times with an apps sepcialist would be beneficial, have you tried contacting your local team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[An...] Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 (edited) Im looking to compare numerous other mesh files to the CAD through command staging for a research project but wanted to get it correctly setup before hand. Do you have any suggestions to change the videos workflow to get it working? I have not contacted the local team and will look into it Edited February 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
