= Basic workflow =

(see the [https://github.com/hvs-ait/mplane-plugin github page] for an animated workflow)

1. Fit a plane through a point cloud by selecting at minimum 3 reference points. A scalarfield for visualizing the normal distance is created and applied automatically.

2. Perform normal distance measurements against the plane.

3. Save measurements as a .csv file.
