Menu: Edit / Fence
In VisionLidar, you can create multiple fences to isolate the working area. This will allow you to reduce the processing time by focusing on the area of interest. To start creating a new fence click on 
, you can also give it a name. When picking a fence, a closed polygon is created in the same way as with the "Selection tool". Begin the fence by clicking the left mouse button around the desired area. Clicking on the right mouse button will close the polygon. Once you are done with creating your fence, you have to validate it by clicking 
or you can click 
if the fence is wrong.
Once a fence is created you can selected betweencan choose amongst
- Hide out: Hides all points outside of the fence
- Hide in: Hides all points inside the fence
: Will delete the current selected fence
: To rename the current selected fence
- Select points: Select the currently visible points and show the Selection dialog.
- Export for train: Export the currently visible points to a PLY files that can later be used to train a model.
- Create surface: Create a surface from the currently visible point.
The fence is a 2D shape that is not part of the point cloud. Filtered points are therefore any points inside/outside the fence when the fence was applied. If the user navigates in the point cloud, the fence will stay the same on screen (if it was drawn). Displacing the main window and clicking on “Apply” will recreate the fence around a new set of points.
Note that the fence can not be activated with the bounding box simultaneously, generating a fence will deactivate the bounding box and vice-versa.
