Subset of Points With Greatest Spacing

It is not uncommon to be confronted with point data that is more dense than is necessary for a certain operation.

SA can sample an existing point group and create a new group of points at a lower spatial density than the source group. You can specify the desired number of points, and SA will choose a subset of points spread out to match that number.

The original points are untouched. Any subsampled points are a copy of the originals.

To Create a Subset of Points with Greatest Spacing:

  1. From the menu, select Construct>New Points>From Points>Subset of Points With Greatest Spacing.

  2. Specify the number of points to create.

  3. Enter a name for the destination point group.
