Filter Cloud to Selected Surfaces
New point clouds can be build from other clouds based upon the proximity of cloud points to a selection of surfaces. Choose a proximity threshold desired and apply subsampling if needed.
A selection of useful controls are available as follows:
-
Surface Offset. The necessary proximity to the surface
-
Edge Offset. The required distance from a surface edge, which allows removal of points too close to an edge.
-
Surface Offset Direction. Which can be set to both above and below the surface or in only a single direction.
-
Output Limits. This control ensures that no more than the specified number of points are included per face.
-
Output Grouping. This selection determines if a single point cloud is built or if a cloud per surface face is returned.
-
Cloud Thinning Options. A list of cloud thinning controls are also available including randomized thinning, Nth point thinning, and min/max limits.
