Points tab

Here are the functions available with this tab:

Button	Description
	Used to apply a filter to the data displayed in the grid. You can filter by selecting points on the screen, by requiring a constraint to match a point and a radius, by picking an XY box, or by giving an elevation constraint. Filters cannot be combined. (Apply the filter by clicking on the gray button in the menu.)
	Select/Unselect all points.
	Add a new blank point. You can add a point number or enter coordinates.
	Delete the selected point(s) from the surface (and not from the descriptive file or database).
	Zoom into the main window, on the point selected in the grid.
	Pick a point on the point cloud to add it to the surface.
	Search for a point in the grid. Use the drop-down list and choose columns to search.

Right-clicking in the table brings up a pop-up menu:
