Building Points from Point Clouds

You can convert cloud points gathered from a scan into normal con- structed points as needed. These newly-constructed points will retain the offsets saved with the cloud and will appear as constructed points. This can be helpful for a number of other functions that re- quire regular points as inputs.

To Convert Cloud Points Into Constructed Points:

  1. Select the points to convert.

  2. The Make Points from Clouds dialog will appear.

  1. Specify the group name, an optional target prefix and starting number, and an offset for the resulting points. If desired, select the Get a point every xxx option to subsample the cloud.

  2. Click OK. If subsampling, confirm the dialog.
