Description

Creates a crop boundary on an attached point cloud, displaying only the part of the point cloud inside or outside a prismatic or cylindrical volume.

Method

If the current drawing has more than one point cloud attached, you are prompted to select which point cloud to crop.

If the current drawing has only one point cloud attached, it is automatically selected for the crop operation.

You can then immediately start selecting points based on the previously selected crop option (shown as <default>).

Alternatively, select a different crop option and proceed with the points selection.
