Reconstruct missing areas in a point cloud face

A test about to reconstruct missing areas in a point cloud face, the details are at: https://github.com/Plus-1000/Reconstruct-missing-areas-in-a-point-cloud-face.
1, Designed face with NX CADCAM, then create point set on the face.
2, Export points to csv file.
3, Do a polynomial fitting and recontruct the missing points.
4, Import created points to Siemens NX interface and check the positioning accuracy.

Please share your experiences for how to fill up the missing area if you face the problem before, thank you.

If you have point cloud data, I would suggest using the "fit surface" command in NX. It requires a freeform license above and beyond a normal mach1 license, but if you are doing this regularly, it may be worth the added cost.

If you have a surface with a hole in it, there are several options to fill the hole or get a copy without a hole (fill surface, delete edge, untrim, enlarge, etc). If you have a solid, the delete face and replace face commands can also get rid of holes.
