The invention relates to a method and computer readable medium for analyzing an object data set that includes points in a multi-dimensional space and in which a tubular structure occurs. The method includes determining a number of points forming part of the surface of the tubular structure in the vicinity of a selected position, and calculating a gradient to the surface for each of the points. The method further includes using the selection of points to calculate an orientation for a cutting plane such that the direction thereof is as parallel as possible to the longitudinal axis of the tubular structure at the selected position.
