# PointFromProfile3D

The PointFromProfile3D function constructs a 3D point within the plane containing the reference profile. The Xp and Zp parameters define where the constructed point intersects the plane. The constructed point is returned in a Point3D structure.

Inputs

The PointFromProfile3D function has the following syntax:

PointFromProfile3D(ExternalProfile,Xp,Zp,Show)

See the table for a description of the available parameters.

Parameter | Description
External Profile | Specifies a reference to a Profile3D structure defined in another cell.
Xp | Offset on the X-axis from the profile origin, in real-world units.
Zp | Offset on the Z-axis from the profile origin, in real-world units.
Show | Selects the type of graphics to overlay on the image.
0 = hide all (default) | All graphics are hidden, except when the cell containing the function is highlighted in the spreadsheet.
1 = result graphics only | The result graphics of the function are displayed at all times.
2 = input and result graphics | The region of interest, the input data and the results are displayed at all times.

Outputs

Returns | A Point3D data structure containing the constructed 3D point, or #ERR if any of the input parameters are invalid.
Results | When initially inserted into a cell, the following functions are automatically inserted into the spreadsheet to create a result table.
| X | Y | Z
❒Point3D | GetX(Point3D) | GetY(Point3D) | GetZ(Point3D)

Vision Data Access functions

The following Structures 3D Vision Data Access functions are automatically inserted into the spreadsheet to create the result table:

Function | Description
GetX(Point3D) | Returns the X-axis coordinate of the 3D point.
GetY(Point3D) | Returns the Y-axis coordinate of the 3D point.
GetZ(Point3D) | Returns the Z-axis coordinate of the 3D point.
