Delete Outside / Inside

You can limit a cube from the point cloud model and decide whether to delete the points inside it or those outside the limitation. As an example of use, you can first limit the device to be replaced in the plant from the point cloud and delete the points belonging to it in order to place a new pump.

  1. Set the 3D limits according to whether you want to delete points outside or inside the limitation.
  2. Select the function Point clouds | Tools | Delete outside or Point clouds | Tools | Delete inside.
  3. If the limits are set and the function is started, either the points inside or outside the limits are deleted immediately.
  4. The functions target all point clouds of the active model.

Note: You can also delete the points of an individual point cloud by selecting it from the feature tree and using the context-sensitive functions that open by right-clicking.
  • Point Cloud > Delete points outside 3D limits
  • Point Cloud > Delete points inside 3D limits
