# Surface Levelness

This command allows you to analyze the levelness of a mesh or a point cloud.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select the mesh(es) or the cloud(s) and launch the command. Or launch this command without selection, to analyze planar parts of a cloud or a mesh.

1. Without selection:
  1. Give a seed point to extract a planar part that you want to analyze.
  2. Adjust the extraction **Tolerance**.
  3. Click **Validate** to confirm the selection.
2. With Selection (or after step 1c):
  1. Set the [**Direction**](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-definenormaldirection) for the analysis.
  2. Add an **Offset value** manually or automatically: the offset is added to the results (inspection values and deviation diagram).
  3. Optionally, if a mesh has been selected, check **Compute gridded inspection** to compute a grid of inspected points in addition to the inspected mesh. Note the points are 3D and only their inspection values are affected by the **Offset value**.
    1. Define the **Horizontal axis** of the grid (must be perpendicular to the analysis direction).
    2. Define a point to **Pass through**.
    3. Define the **Horizontal step** of the grid (ie along the **Horizontal axis**).
    4. Define the **Vertical step.**
    5. Optionally, after the preview, export the points directly to CAD:
      1. Set the **texts height** in model space.
      2. Export to **DXF** or [**Send To**](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-sendto)**.**

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> - The export will use the currently active coordinate system.

> [!TIP]
> ### Tips & Tricks
> 
> - You can use [Pick Analysis](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-measurementtoolbarc) in the quick measure toolbar to add measures to the analysis.
