When a point cloud includes multiple features with a similar shape, feature selection can treat them as one item. Select Linked cloud filtering in the Parameters for Feature Fitting dialog, and enter a value in the Link radius box to specify the distance at which groups of points are treated as belonging to separate features. For example:
Without Linked cloud filtering, PowerInspect treats cylinders and

With Linked cloud filtering and a Link radius smaller than the distance between the cylinders but larger than the maximum distance between points
, clicking a grey point finds only cylinder
