Hi Guys,
How to find a boundary of point cloud? See attached image
Thanks
Right now i only remember a manual option.
a) Top view - Selbrush - select fast all possible edge points - curve trough points.
b) Top view - Lasso selection - select fast all edge points - curve trough points.
Oh it is a lot of work ))
Yes it is… but sorry, i do not know other way.
Two options:
-
Get the convex hull of the points projected on the XY plane. You can do this with the Mesh->Triangulation->Convex Hull component in Grasshopper.
-
Get the Delaunay triangulation of the points (Mesh->Triangulation->Delaunay Mesh), and throw away any faces / triangles with edges above a certain length, and get the outline of the result. This will let you outline concave shapes.
Note: Expect it to take a very long time with the amount of points you have.
How about Alpha Shape in GH?
