Point cloud manager panel

The Point cloud manager panel creates and manages regions in a point cloud and controls the display of point clouds based on scans, classification and regions.

Note: Scan information will only be available if the point cloud is preprocessed in HSPC format. Only structured point clouds contain scan information. Classification information will be available if the point cloud data source contains classification information (some *.LAS/*.LAZ files) and it is preprocessed in HSPC, or if the point cloud is classified using the Hexagon point cloud classifier (POINTCLOUDCLASSIFY command).
