PointCloudInstance.GetPoints

Description:
Extracts a collection of points based on a filter.

Remarks:
If there are more points in the cloud passing the filter than the number requested in this function, the results may not be consistent if the same call is made again.

	PointCloudFilter filter,

PointCloudFilter

filter

The filter to control which points are extracted. The filter should be passed in the coordinates of the Revit model.
Double

averageDistance

Desired average distance between "adjacent" cloud points (Revit units of length). The smaller the averageDistance the larger number of points will be returned up to the numPoints limit. Specifying this parameter makes actual number of points returned for a given filter independent of the density of coverage produced by the scanner.
Int32

numPoints

The maximum number of points requested.

Return Value PointCollection A collection object containing points that pass the filter, but no more than the maximum number requested.

ArgumentException

The number of points read must range from 1 to 1000000.
ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The given value for averageDistance must be no more than 30000 feet in absolute value.
