Steps
1. Download this file and open it in Rhinoceros 7®.
2. Run the command 'Export 3D Points'.
3. Set the options as intended.
4. Select the curves and surfaces in the document.
5. Set the file format parameters.
6. Select the file name and click 'Save'.
Command options
Format: Configurable file format template for txt, csv and nc files. PointMethod: Uniform distance or by chord tolerance. Distance: Distance between coordinates for uniform point method. Tolerance: Conversion tolerance for curves.
Notes
- This command supports Mesh, Surface, Polysurface and SubD objects.
- The output can be configurated to create a set of points with directions (if any surface is selected) to be use in a wide range of applications such as nc machines, robots, cmm, cam software, etc.
- Supported codes (File Format Dialogue):
- [N] - Line counter.
- [X] [Y] [Z] - World coordinates.
- [I] [J] [K] - Unit vector (normal direction).
- [XDEG] [YDEG] [ZDEG] - Degree angles to each axis from the normal direction.
- [XRAD] [YRAD] [ZRAD] - Radians angles to each axis from the normal direction.
