# Point3D

The Point3D function Functions are tools that are available in Spreadsheet for processing and analyzing acquisitions or other results. You can add functions to your Spreadsheet job to create tool chains and produce results for specific applications. allows you to create a fixtured 3D point in the point cloud A point cloud is a 3D structure that consists of the data points collected by a 3D vision system during acquisition.. It returns a Point3D structure containing the settings of the fixtured 3D point.

Inputs

The Point3D function has the following syntax:

Plane3D(PointCloud A point cloud is a 3D structure that consists of the data points collected by a 3D vision system during acquisition.,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 A fixture is a coordinate location on the image that keeps the tool in the place determined by the 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. Note: You can use the Fixture3D parameter to set the ROI fixture.
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.
