When you remove a merge group from the Point Cloud Manager, the files
contained within the group remain. To remove files from the Point Cloud
Manager, select the file and click Remove File. All files added to the Point
Cloud Manager appear there until you explicitly remove them.
You can apply a filter to your LiDAR source data to control what points are
included in your point cloud data store. You can also filter point cloud data
after it has been added to your map. If you are considering creating a filtered
point cloud data store from your LiDAR data, try filtering the point cloud data
in Display Manager first. This allows you to experiment with various filters
before applying them to your source files.
