Point Cloud Measurements

The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate to the user how to measure objects using the point cloud of a run. The user will be able to perform measurements using different techniques: “Closest Point”, “Flat Surface Intersection” and “Ridges and Corners Intersection”, as well as save the results in a vector dataset.
