Making PointDeviation results persistent to show on drawing (R7)

Greetings.

I work with laser scan data / point clouds. I recently discovered the PointDeviation command and hoping to use it in our drawings to show wall topography for installers. I have not found a method to capture the results in a way that can be shown in a viewport on our drawings like a heat map. The best I could do was screen capturing or printing to PDF while the command was still active, which seems a bit wonky as a workflow. How do you make it persistent and to scale for showing on a drawing?

Also, is there a way to change the point display type to solid instead of white centers for the PointDeviation results? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Respectfully,
Brian Jackson

Hi Brian,

In the first 8.11 release candidate PointDeviation will follow what you have set for pointclouds in the wireframe display mode. So you can change that to solid and PD will also be solid. See https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-83179.
