Select points by 3d box¶
The area selection starts by defining a polygon. Additionally, the height of the area is queried. It is necessary to rotate the view a little bit because it is not possible to enter the height in the top view. The selected points are then marked.
Select points by polygon¶
The area selection starts by defining a polygon. The selected points are then marked.
Select points inside / outside¶
Improved · 16 R1 · Improvements
This switch acts on when selecting points. Depending on the setting, either the points inside or outside the polygon are selected.
Delete points¶
The function becomes visible as soon as points are selected. The selected points are highlighted. The delete function deletes all selected points.
Split point cloud¶
The function becomes visible as soon as points are selected. The selected points are moved from the selected point cloud into a new point cloud.
Join point clouds¶
The function becomes visible as soon as multiple point clouds are selected with the Shift key. The selected point clouds are combined with the point cloud that was selected first.
Split point cloud into storeys¶
Improved · 16 R1 · Improvements
This function is only available in ELITECAD Architecture.
All points that lie between the start and end height of a story of the current structure are automatically divided into separate point clouds and assigned to the story.
