About Cut Planes

Cut planes allow VTube-LASER to define a plane of a table or other surface in order to cut laser points from being used in measurements to VTube-LASER.


How to Create a Cut Plane

Follow these steps to create a cut plane.

STEP 1

In VTube-LASER click on Measure Process, then click on Measure Cut Plane. The Laser scanner will turn off automatically.

STEP 3

Select the correct ball probe then press OK.

This step will cause the FARO driver to report back to VTube the new probe. The FARO driver should always remember the last ball probe that you set to "Current Probe" in the pulldown box. This is true even if you shutdown VTube-LASER and the FARO arm.
