### **Using the Tool**

#### **To fit a workplane by selecting a cloud point:**

1. Click the **Workplane** icon in the **Fitters** panel.
  1. The **Fit WorkPlane** dialog will appear. ![image-20240820-113015.png](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/image-20240820-113015.png)
2. In the **Maximum RMS Error** field, specify the maximum allowable error.
  1. The **Maximum RMS Error** field displays the sampling error of the original point cloud. If the fit quality does not meet this number, the fit is rejected.
3. In the **Select PickType** field, select **PickPoint** from the down-down menu and click **OK**.
4. Pick a point on the cloud.
  1. The points in the region that best define a planar surface are used to fit the patch, and the results are displayed.

#### **To fit a workplane via a fence:**

1. Click the **Workplane** icon in the **Fitters** panel.
2. In the **Fit WorkPlane** dialog, adjust the settings as follows:
  1. In the **Maximum RMS Error** field, specify the maximum allowable error.
  2. In the **Select PickType** field, select **Box**, **Polygon**, or **Circle** fence from the down-down menu and click **OK**.
    1. If a polygon fence is selected, you can end it by clicking near the starting point.
    2. Minimum rectangle produces a rectangle with the minimum surface area that surrounds the fit points.
3. Once the fence is completed, the patch is fitted using the points in the region that best define a planar surface, and the results are displayed.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** If the fit quality does not meet the **Maximum RMS Error** value, the fit is rejected.
