The handyscans are great that you can eyeball the geometry and be really close. I usually use Rhino when reverse engineering, so I heavily use curve/circle fit through points which should give better accuracy than 3 points. Does Spaceclaim have curves/circles fitting tools?
I'm not very familiar with Rhino yet, but if you're picking more than 3 points you're probably working with a spline, not a circle. And, the issue with using too many points is that the resulting curve/spline will most likely be of poor quality. The "quality" I'm referring to has to do with inflections shown in analysis plots, and pertains mainly to surfaces. I see your logic though, but with most everything there are pros and cons.
good demo but you forgot to show the viewer where to click to trim as well as how you first began with the first sketch plane. I am new and was lost almost immediately.
Hi wfatv584 , These are not step by step training videos rather they are application overviews. They idea is to educated people on the general steps and processes for a given product or application. If you want step by step training we offer that as a service.
I know there is a quicker way to do it, by creating plans and extracting curves from the intersections in the retro conception tab.But still nice video.

Yes there is a command called "Fit Curve" that will fit through the geometry. You can do it that way if you prefer.

I’m a huge fan of your videos! You are making them fantastic! One question: how can you put the draft angle onto this part?
Here is a great video showing how to add draft. th-cam.com/video/thOjL0m9X2g/w-d-xo.html
Is it possible to scale sketch in 2020/21 version, there is no scale sketch button ? Thanks
I would send that request directly to Ansys/SpaceClaim.
Is it possible to scan a CAD and get a parametric equation ?
There is no automatic 3D scan to CAD if that is what you are asking. It's an involved process as you see in this video.

Thanks for the info!
