Could you tell me how _PoinCloudContour and _PointCloudSection works and how to properly use them? I’ve found info about PointCloudSection | Rhino 3-D modeling only. _PointCloudCountour is not documented. I’ve read about Section but it works strange. I can`t get a good section through the pointcloud.

Hello - I tihnk the key setting is the distance from the plane in PointCloudSection - the command cuts the point cloud with a plane and since it is unlikely to actually hit a useful number of points, the command looks for nearby points and pulls them onto the plane before creating the curve.

Thanks a lot. How about Contour? How it should work?

Hello - PointCloudContour settings are the same as PointCloudSection , it just makes regularly spaced parallel sections, like Contour.
