Clipping provides a way to hide extraneous portions of the point cloud without permanently removing the points. For example, you can use clipping to trim away people and vehicles picked up in the laser scan. In the following illustration, multiple clipping areas were used to remove the boat stands holding up the boat.
Like creating a scan region, the clipping action originates with accurate selection. Once a selection has been made you can specify whether points are clipped inside or outside the clipping boundary, depending on whether you want to remove something from the scene or isolate it.
Remove clip boundaries to restore display of the clipped points. In point clouds with more than one clip boundary, you can choose to remove all boundaries, or step back chronologically to remove boundaries one at a time.
