Select

Menu: Edit / Select

The Select tool is used to isolate points within the point cloud for further processing, including deletion, restoration, classification, extraction, and surface generation. Only visible points can be selected—any hidden points (by class or scan) will not be processed.

💡 Tip: If you need to exclude certain classes (e.g., ground points) from the selection, hide them before using this tool.

How to Use the Select Tool

1. Activate the Select function.

2. Define a selection area by drawing a polygon around the desired points:

   • Left-click to place each polygon vertex.

   • Right-click to close the polygon and finalize the selection.

3. The polygon can be concave or convex, but lines cannot intersect.

Available Actions

Once points are selected, the following options are available:

• Delete – Permanently removes the selected points from the project.

• Undelete – Restores points that were previously deleted within the polygon.

• Classify – Assigns the selected points to a specific classification (chosen from a dropdown list).

• Create Surface – Generates a surface based on the selected area.

• Export to Civil – Adds the selected points to a surface for further management in the Civil module.
