Limit box for viewing / classification

[kgrover]

It would be great to have the ability to set a limit box in the 3D view to better work with the dense cloud. It can be hard to properly select / view points that you need to clean, classify, etc. in the view as all the points are visible.

But with a limit box that you can resize move, etc. on the fly to clip the dense cloud would be ideal. Then it would allow for easier point selection of noisy points, or when manually classifying trees, buildings, etc.

Or a slicing option where you can just work on a freely chosen slice of the point cloud or mesh
Slice properties are position, orientation and width, e.g., only show a 50m slice that is vertical (cross section) and running East - West

Hello Kevin,

Please check if the option from Tools Menu -> Dense Cloud -> Filter by Selection does suffice your needs. It hides all but currently selected points in the Model view. After you finished editing the filtered part you can Reset Filter to see the complete cloud with the edits applied.

Hello Jefferson,

It is available in the latest release version (1.4.4).

I have been using that tool, which is good, but the problem is that you have to keep resetting the filter when you need to select a new area of points. It works (and a good first step), but kind of a pain with larger edits.

Ideally a limit box (similar to many other point cloud tools), pretty much like region box in Agisoft, but only that only controls the current view of points. So you can dynamically edit the limit box as needed (move, resize, etc.), instead of selecting a new area, filter by selection, the reset, and keep doing over again.
