Minimum and maximum Points on a Feature-Plane

[PCDMISRON]

Afternoon all...Is there a way to generate the minimum and maximum points from the points probed on a plane?

try this

We originally used this solution for a scan set, but I suspect it will also work for a plane feature if you substitute the correct feature names. TRy it out and let us know.



Here is some code which should do the same thing -

ASSIGN/MAXz = MAX(SCN1.HIT[1..SCN1.NUMHITS].z)
ASSIGN/MAXYPT = MAXINDEX(SCN1.HIT[1..SCN1.NUMHITS].z)
ASSIGN/MINz = MIN(SCN1.HIT[1..SCN1.NUMHITS].z)
ASSIGN/MINYPT = MININDEX(SCN1.HIT[1..SCN1.NUMHITS].z)
COMMENT/REPT,
,MAXz
,MAXYPT
,MINz
,MINYPT

Thanks Don. I am leaving the office now for some fresh air. I will be back later tonight to give it a try. I wll let you know the results...Also, how would I convert the point probed in the plane feature to sets. If that works for sure I would apply the sets to it instead.

I'm not sure what you mean. I think there is no need to convert anything to sets, it might work as it is. I have not tried it yet, I will see if I can try some things today, but it should work as a plane feature, finding the min and max. You just have to use the correct feature name syntax in the assignment statements where I have SCN1.

it works for me

I tried it using a plane feature, and it works fine as is. Just use the appropriate feature name, as shown in example below -

Thanks Mr. Ruggieri. I was able to apply the original code with with the appropriate substitutions last night and as you stated, it worked fine.

Thanks again!!
