I have an input of a stp file in the shape of a dish (3d surface). The top edge of the dish is not coplanar. It is close, but definitely not coplanar. I would like to create a "best fit" datum plane using several points along the top edge of the dish, or the entire curve (top edge) if someone could tell me how.
I am sure I could get the X, Y, Z components of a bunch of points with respect to a coordinate system, then use some external calculator to generate a best fit plane, but I am lazy, and would like to do this in ProE if possible.
Any thoughts?
Thank you for any/all help
