Hi and thanks for looking
I have a cloud of points, which very roughly form an irregular cylinder. I need to draw a number of parallel planes through it and calculate which points belong to which plane. Then, I need to calculate the squared sum of distances from those points to the principal axis. So, for each plane there will be 1 value (sq sum of distances). I have calculated its principal axis and am not sure how to proceed next. I know that the principal axis is the normal to the planes
Thank you for your help
