# Point3D

The Point3D function allows you to create a fixtured 3D point in the point cloud. It returns a Point3D structure containing the settings of the fixtured 3D point.

Inputs

The Point3D function has the following syntax:

Plane3D(PointCloud,Fixture3D,ExternalFixture,Point3D,Show)

Parameter | Description
PointCloud | Reference to a cell containing a point cloud. The default value is $A$0.
Fixture3D | Specifies the point cloud coordinate system in which the 3D fixture is defined. It is offset from the PointCloud origin in the following format with the following arguments: {X, Y, Z, Rotation, Tilt, TiltDirection}
X | Offset on the X-axis from the PointCloud origin.
Y | Offset on the Y-axis from the PointCloud origin.
Z | Offset on the Z-axis from the PointCloud origin.
Rotation | Specifies the in-plane rotation in degrees around the PointCloud Z-axis. The value range is -180 to 180. The tool normalizes external references with values outside the allowed range to the allowed range.
Tilt | Specifies the tilt angle in degrees from the PointCloud Z-axis after rotation. The value range is 0-180. External references with values outside the allowed range result in an error.
Tilt Direction | Specifies the direction of tilt in degrees from the rotated PointCloud X-axis of the tool, around the PointCloud Z-axis of the tool. The value range is -180 to 180. The tool normalizes external references with values outside the allowed range to the allowed range.
Note: The Fixture3D parameter is only available if you set External Fixture to 0.
External Fixture | Specifies a reference to a Fixture3D structure defined in another cell. The function uses the referenced cell as the fixture of the function. Set to 0 (OFF) to use the internal fixture of the function instead.
Point3D | Specifies the offset of the 3D point to use. It is offset from the Fixture3D origin in the following format with the following arguments: {X, Y, Z}
X | Offset on the X-axis from the PointCloud origin.
Y | Offset on the Y-axis from the PointCloud origin.
Z | Offset on the Z-axis from the PointCloud origin.
Note: This parameter is available only if External Point is set to 0.
Show | Selects the type of graphics to overlay on the image.
0 = hide all (default) | All graphics will be hidden, except when the cell containing the function is highlighted in the spreadsheet.
2 = input graphics only | The input data will be 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.
