| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Name (Line) | Type the name of the generated line or click  to increment to the next available name. |
| Add | Click to add the selected points or vertices of a selected line to the list. |
| Remove | Click to remove the points or vertices that are selected in the list. |
| Fit in 3D |
Do one of the following:
|
| Height Method |
Select one of the following methods to input a height for the 2 dimensional line:
Note:
|
| Hold Direction | Select the checkbox to hold the direction of the line fixed. |
| Direction | If the Hold Direction box is selected, input the direction. |
| Solve | Click to preview the generated line in the model view and display the Offset value in the list. |
| OK | Click to accept the generated line. |
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Name (Point) | The name or unique Id of the points or vertices in the list. |
| Included |
Do one of the following:
|
| Fixed | Select the checkbox to give a point or vertex a higher weight than unfixed points when generating a best fit line. |
| Offset |
The computed perpendicular distance from the generated line to each point included in the calculation. Note:
|
- For best results do not hold points or vertices fixed when holding the direction.
- Use the computed offsets to detect outliers.
