Classify Using Brush
Classify Using Brush tool classifies points inside a circular or rectangular brush that is moved in a CAD file view. All points that are touched by the brush are classified. The display of effect points changes dynamically while the tool is used.
The tool can be utilized with two different kinds of mouse action. You can use it with two separate data clicks and mouse pointer movement in between, or you can keep the data button pressed down while moving the mouse pointer. A circle or rectangle around the mouse pointer indicates the brush of the given size. The brush shape is displayed brighter when the tool is active.
The tool works in top views as well as in section views.

1. Select the Classify Using Brush tool.
The Classify Using Brush dialog opens:
