Measurement¶
Measurements in instant3Dhub can be used to determine the dimensions, geometry and other quantitative information in the 3D Space. Measurements can be added out-of-the-box using the MeasurementAPI.
Key aspects: - A measurement is defined by a MeasurementType and one or more targets. - Depending on the complexity of the measurement, the operation might require a few seconds of computation and utilize a specific service.
Three common types of measurements are:
Single Measurement: Single measurement provide detailed information on the properties of a topological entity e.g., it’s surface area, length or volume.
Double Measurements: Double Measurement provide information on relations between topological entities e.g., distances or angles. For convenience, the result set automatically matched for the input data types.
Arc Measurements: Arc measurements are defined by three points in the 3D Space, typically derived from surfaces of the geometry. They provide information on center, diameter, circumference, angle and axis of the respectively defined arc.
