Specific Parameters for Measure Cylinder
The following measure parameters are specific to Cylinder type measure steps:
NUMBER_SLICES
The number of slices (that is, cross-sections of the cylindrical surface where the system performs the measurements). The default is a dash (-), in which case 1 will appear in the Measure Cylinder Points dialog box.
POINTS_PER_SLICE
The number of Measured points in each slice. The points are distributed evenly along the surface cross-section. The default is 4.
FIRST_SLICE_OFFSET
The distance between the start plane and the first slice. The default is a dash (-), in which case 0.00 will appear in the Measure Cylinder Points dialog box.
OFFSET_BTWN_SLICES
The distance between two consecutive slices. The default is a dash (-), in which case 0.00 will appear in the Measure Cylinder Points dialog box.
