How to see the value of each raw point taken in a feature.

A client has requested to see the value of every point taken. He is not satisfy with just the result of the characteristic. For example if a point is taken for plane flatness, they want to see the value of every one of the 800 points taken on that plane.

Hi Alvaro,

Seeing the “value of every point taken” might mean different things to different people, but if you provide the Cartesian coordinates (in other words, X/Y/Z values) as a text file, that’ll satisfy 90% of requests in my experience.

To do so, right-click on the feature of interest and select “Export Points” near the bottom of the menu. I’ve attached the standard settings I use to export Cartesian coordinates; feel free to ask about the options if you’re interested.

If you need to do this for a lot of features/parts, you’ll want to explore Resources > Results to File > Export Points; after turning this option on, the configuration options use the same ideas as if you’re exporting points from a singular feature.
