- What are the most common graphical selection methods?The user can manually select points using geometric shapes such as the polygon, the rectangle, the circle, the sphere or an axis-aligned…
- What is the difference between deleting, filtering, and hiding selected points?The command Delete permanently removes the selected points from the current Set. Filter leaves only the selected points visible, hiding…
- How can I deselect specific points from a selection?There is an Deselection Mode that, when activated, allows any subsequent selection tool to work in reverse, subtracting points from the…
- Can points that have been deleted or hidden be recovered?Yes, the software offers Undo Deletion and Undo Filtering commands to revert the last action. For a full restoration, there are Restore…
- How can I automatically separate terrain points from the rest of the point cloud?The software primarily uses the Selection by CSF (Cloth Simulation Filter) algorithm to efficiently identify the terrain surface. This…
- What tools are available to quickly select flat surfaces or objects by physical continuity?To work with architectural elements, the program offers Selection by Estimated Plane. This utility allows you to select a seed point and…
- How can isolated points be grouped or vertical elements such as streetlights and signs be detected?The grouping of points that form independent objects is managed through the Selection by Clustering command. This function identifies…
- Can the point cloud be classified automatically?The AI Classification command employs Artificial Intelligence models to recognize and categorize points automatically, associating each…
- What reasons can cause a failure in AI Automatic Classification?The most common failures are usually due to lack of performance in the instrument with respect to the Point Cloud to be classified. Four…
- What is Editing and what properties can be filtered?The set of Editing commands allows the user to select Points Groups based on specific values stored in the cloud database. This…
- How can I select points based specifically on their category or classification?To work with specific classes, use Selection by Category. When you run this command, a list of all categories present in the project (both…
- What options does the software offer to select points by their visual appearance or color?The program features Selection by Color, which allows working in RGB (Red, Green, Blue) or HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color spaces. The…
- How is "noise" or isolated point cleaning performed in the point cloud?To eliminate imperfections, the Selection by Isolation command is essential. This algorithm analyzes the neighborhood of each point and…
- What is point cloud consolidation and when should it be applied?After performing cleaning, filtering, and deletion processes, it is highly recommended to use the Consolidate Point Clouds command. This…
- The point cloud looks black or disappears when zoomingWhen zooming towards a point cloud it is common for it to disappear partly or completely, to look "like a curtain" or to show black areas…
- How to clone a point selection into a new cloudTCP-PointCloud Editor lets you clone a point selection in order to create a new point cloud from it, without having to export the selected…
- How to move only part of the point cloud in ZThe relative coordinates of the points inside an existing cloud are immutable, so the elevation cannot be changed for only part of the…
- How to orbit the view while drawing in 3D?When working on the point cloud with the CAD tools, the mouse may only pan the view and not let you rotate it to change the perspective…
- How to record and export a camera path?On a point cloud you can record a camera path by capturing several viewpoints (key frames) that the program then links into a trajectory…
- What undo and redo options are there when editing points?TCP-PointCloud Editor provides partial undo options, which differ depending on the type of operation (drawing, vertex insertion, cloud…
- It closes when setting intensity and the clouds turn blackWhen the number of ranges of the intensity representation is set to 1, TCP PointCloud Editor closes. From then on all the clouds are shown…
- Custom categories are not kept when exportingWhen a point cloud is exported to LAS/LAZ format and imported into a new project, the categories created by the user may all look the…
- Why does the selection shift when zooming or rotating?Visual selections (by rectangle, circle or polygon) in TCP-PointCloud Editor are view-dependent: they carry no world coordinates, so when…
- How to change the density of a point cloud?In Tcp PointCloud Editor you can reduce the density of a point cloud using the density selection, which marks the points lying within a…
- What editing and filtering tools does tcp PointCloud Editor offer?What tools does it include for point cloud editing? It features advanced functions for noise removal, advanced selection tools, and manual…
