Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Web Interface • 349
The Surface Section tool provides functionality similar to sections you can define on the Models page
(see Models on page 176).However, the Surface Section tool has a few advantages.
One advantage of the Surface Section tool is that you can anchor the tool to some other easily
identifiable feature on the scan target, which "shifts"the section in relation to that feature:this increases
repeatability.
Another advantage is that unlike sectioning generated from the Model page, the Surface Section can
take any surface as input, such as a combined surface (using Surface Extend or Stitch), a transformed
surface (using Surface Transformation), a filtered / corrected (Surface Filter and Surface Vibration
Correction), and so on.
Finally, the Surface Section tool provides measurements useful for calculating the global X/Ycoordinates
of the resulting profile, using a Script tool Script (page 407). Even if you don't use anchors or the
measurements, LMIrecommends using the Surface Section tool over model-based sections.
