3 Fitting Continued
In a similar fashion as described above, fit other types of objects to the point cloud.
3.1 Cylinders
See the area of interest illustrated below in Figure_23. We will model the cylinders supporting
the larger pipe. To easily model these smaller radius pipes, we will sub-select the point cloud and
launch a copy of the selection to another ModelSpace. When finished modeling the object, we
will merge it back into the original ModelSpace.
1) In the registered ModelSpace, point cloud sub-select the area surrounding the cylinders
shown in Figure 23.
