A scan plane function allows creating 2D cross-section curves of 3D objects. Data is entered each time the probe tip passes through a 2D virtual plane in a set. The MicroScribe-3D can perform as a mouse . Auto-plot allows collecting data at defined intervals of distance for sketching or tracing curves. Standard, fine, ball, and custom probe tips are supported.
Rhino displays the probe tip position in space prior to digitizing three-dimensional points.
You can 'see' where a point will be added before you digitize. You can use digitized points to draw curves, place arcs, circles, and other objects. You can create planar sections through your object. You can develop a surface on the curves and objects. Files can be exported to your other design applications.
