Points Structure/de

Description
The Points Structure command creates a structured point cloud from the points of an existing scattered point cloud. A structured point cloud has the advantage that tessellation is much easier.

The command only works for point clouds whose points, when viewed from a certain direction, are organized in a regular 2D grid. These point clouds are typically produced by structured-light 3D scanners and do not have undercuts. For complex objects, point clouds from many different view directions have to be combined.

Usage

 * 1) The command assumes that the view direction of the point cloud is parallel to the Z axis of the global coordinate system. If this is not the case: adjust the point cloud object's  accordingly.
 * 2) Select the point cloud object.
 * 3) Select the  option from the menu.
