Hello Colin,

It currently uses ELLIPSE3D, CIRCULARCYLINDER, CYLINDER, CIRCLE3D only. (with my version).

I found the source code of this console version and extend the argument list by the keyword PLANE, see code below.

Please download the modified version and check it out:

https://dev.applied-geodesy.org/tmp/FormFittingToolboxConsole.jar

Let my know, if/how it works.

regards
Micha
