Filtering Point Cloud Data
You can filter point clouds by point classification, elevation, LiDAR intensity,
and location on your map. You can also create a new point cloud data store
from your filtered point cloud data.
Filters applied in the Display Manager or Point Cloud Ribbon only control
the display of points in your map. They do not remove any of the points from
the point cloud. To create a new point cloud containing a subset of your source
data, use the filter in the Point Cloud Manager. For more information on
filtering point cloud data, see Lesson 4: Work with Point Cloud Data.
NOTE If you are working with a point cloud created using AutoCAD commands
(.PCG file), you can only filter by elevation and location on map.
