Verisurf enhances the measurement of lines and planes through custom offset settings.
When a measured plane is defined by three points on two or more parallel surfaces that are offset from one another, the 2-point dimension tool can be used to determine the nominal distances between the planes. These values are entered as offsets. When the plane is measured, Verisurf calculates a plane that is tangent to the probe and offset by the defined values.
Offsets work similarly for lines. When measuring a 2-point line on a stepped edge, the step value can be determined using a 2-point dimension and entered as the offset. The measured line is then compensated for both probe and custom offsets.
Custom offsets make it easier to measure lines and planes in a greater variety of applications.
