# ExtractParallelCrossSections3D

The ExtractParallelCrossSections3D 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 extract multiple parallel profiles from a 3D point cloud A point cloud is a 3D structure that consists of the data points collected by a 3D vision system during acquisition. by defining a 3D Region of Interest and the distance between the extracted profiles.

The function creates parallel planes within the Region of Interest, offset from each other by the defined step distance. Each plane serves as a slicing object, creating a profile using the points where the plane intersects with the 3D point cloud. The planes for each profile are parallel to the X and Z axes of the Region of Interest.
