Surface of Revolution Analysis question

Post by gordonired »

I have no idea how to produce a TXT profile, and I have tried to search through past questions and haven't found an answer yet. I have my .OBJ file, and can look at it's "code" in notepad++, but I am having a hard time finding the height values in all this, as they must increase or decrease according to the index page.

I can use a primitive, but I want to use the mesh I have produced, as it was fitted with a different program, and is a bit better fitting than the one the internal RANSAC algorithm produces. Is there a resource you can point out online where I can find how to extract that data from my OBJ, or a method to create a primitive that will have the exact dimensions spatially as my external mesh, so that I can use it with this plugin?

Thank you
