Copy Points

c_copy_pointsCopy points tool picks points to the TerraScan clipboard. It does not affect the original points, but original points remain in their original position.

This tool is most useful for manual edits of visualization with Gaussian Splats.

To copy points to the TerraScan clipboard:

1. (Optional) Compute distance from ground to points. The distance helps to paste points to the ground level.

2. Place a fence in top view or Select a polygon shape outlining the desired points horizontally.

3. Select Copy Points tool.

This opens the Copy Points dialog:

copy_points

4. Specify class(es) to copy and define the point set front facing direction with a data click.

This adds the points inside the fence to the TerraScan clipboard. Use Paste points to place the points from clipboard to the scene.
