POINTCLOUDREGION command

Creates regions in a point cloud.

BricsCAD Pro; BricsCAD Mechanical; BricsCAD BIM

Method

To create regions, first select one method:
  • Draw a selection of points.

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

    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 drawing option (shown as <default>).

    Alternatively, select a different drawing option and proceed with the points selection. Select more points or finish the selection process.

  • Select solids or crop solids.

    If there are more point clouds attached in the drawing, you are first prompted to select one. Then you can select solids or polysolids to convert to regions.

The created regions are displayed in the Point Cloud Manager panel.
