Is there a cutout-box for deleting points?

[Brahm]

Hi there,
I am cleaning a pointcloud to prapare it as imput for creating a DTM. So I am deleting wrong points, which have been wrongly classified as ground instead of vegetation. Since my poincloud is very big, I have to cut out small parts of the pointcloud to be able to see the wrong points, which I want to delete, properly (otherwise there are always too many points arround and I cannot see the wrong points). I used the segmentation tool to cut out many, many sub-parts of the pointcloud, but this is very time consuming and not easy to handle.

So my question is, if there is a box, which I could use for selecting just a cutout of the pointcloud and where I only see these selected points in the box then (with no other points in my way)? I want to delete points in this cutout and then unify the selected points with the whole pointcloud again, without creating a new cutout-pointcloud file. So a box would be fine, where I can change its size and direction for selection. Is there such a thing in Cloud Copare? So I am searching for a tool like the "Cross section" tool, but beeing able to edit the points inside the box!

Thank you
Brahm

Ah, this feature has always been suggested a while ago (by Romain Janvier if I'm not mistaken). However it hasn't been implemented yet...

Hi Daniel,
ok, thank you! Anyway this feature would be a great help when editing points in a big point cloud..
