Delete Outside / Inside

Point clouds

You can limit a cube from the point cloud model and decide whether to delete the points inside it or those outside the limitation. An example of use: 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.

The functions target all point clouds of the active model.

  1. Set the 3D limits depending on whether you want to delete points outside or inside the limitation.
  2. Select 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.
Note: Alternatively, select the point cloud from the feature tree and from the right-click menu, select either of the following:.
  • Point Cloud > Delete points outside 3D limits
  • Point Cloud > Delete points inside 3D limits
