Point cloud filters – ARCHLine.XP

You can use point cloud filters to display only the relevant parts of point cloud.

This can be done creating filters and setting the desired filter parameters. Filtering a region provides a way to show/hide parts of the point cloud.

Creating a new filter
1. Specify the plane of the filter in space.

Location of the command: Building - Point Cloud - Filter commands

Click on the black arrow to move the surface in perpendicular direction. Press Ok to finish the definition.

2. Enter the name of the filter and the thickness of the section in the pop-up dialog.

Filter Regions

You can change the display color of the region by clicking on the currently assigned color button.
Select No to restore the original point cloud colors.

You can change the visibility of the region, its thickness and move the reference point perpendicular to the surface.
Display order of regions can be controlled by moving existing regions over each other in the dialog.

By pressing the Apply button, the new settings become visible immediately.
You can delete previously defined filters using the Delete or Delete all command.

You can turn off filters to display the space without the points in those regions.
